Our local Harley/Kawasaki/Suzuki/Yamaha shop was sponsoring a night at our local car oval track. The general manager saw me at the shop the other day and asked me to be there so I could run my 'Max around the track when they did a parade lap. I said 'sure, do you think they will mind if I burn off my tire?'He said no, as a matter of fact, if you do that, I will split the cost of a new one with you. How could I say no? So goodbye Battlax (just over 4000 miles) and hello new Metzler ME880 in 210/40 18. I will be swapping it out tomorrow and going for a ride.

One day after watching it happen, a friend of mine snidely ask me "When your in a group of bikes, why is it always a V-Max guy that does a burn out?"

I said "it's the Breakfast of Champions!"

A puzzled look came across his face, and he ask "How's that?"

I said "Egg's and Fresh Toasted Rubber, It's the Breakfast of Champions!"

He said "I didn't see no egg!"

I replied "that's because it was hidden under the toast!"

We get on the bikes and about ten miles down the road we stop at a red light. We are waiting for it to change when all of the sudden I am spooked by the loud trumpet of a V-Twin followed by a huge veil of smoke. When the smoke cleared, I looked over at him and ask "what the hell are YOU doing!?"

He said "Having Breakfast!"

Again, way to represent us VMaxers up there in the Great Northwest Michael!! Let us know how you like the 210 Metz will ya? Regards, Chuck

PS Bike sounds MEAN!

Way to lay waste to a tire buddy! To dam bad you are so far away you would fit right in at the Burnout pit at the Iron horse.

Lite em up
