Traded my K-bike for this badboy yesterday! K-Bike had 73,000 miles on it, this only had 22,000. Gonna rock this badboy for a little while and then hopefully get the Kawasaki Versys in the spring or next summer.
It's definitely the fastest thing I've ever ridden (where's the smiley for hair on fire lol ?)

Thanks!
1985 it's an oldie but it still runs like a raped ape!
Supposedly has some bigger cams put in it and compression bumped up.

Let me know when you want to sell it, my brother-in-law has always loved em. By that time he'll be in the market again.

That would be Marcus. He still has his Vmax. He's debating right now whether to rebuild some stuff on it, or buy something else.

He moved way out in the sticks, and just recently got dial-up.
I tease him all the time that smoke signals would be quicker:D

I found this shot of Marcus. He use to make quite a few rides with us back in the day.

Its a shame the frame, brakes or tires can't keep up with the power. That's probably why they're so fun!

What's up Mike!!!
We gotta get some riding done soon! I think my buddy and I are gonna do some riding Sunday afternoon, maybe we'll hit up the Northshore (he's kinda a n00b though so it'll be a easy ride).

Just let me know. I met a SUMO guy over here and he is fun to ride with too. He lives in Covington and has a DRZ.
