TOPIC: New to the forum/Pity Party

New to the forum/Pity Party 3 years 8 months ago #1

Hi everyone! My name is Joey, and I'm a VMax-aholic. I ordered my VMax back in August of 08 while I was deployed to Afghanistan. I picked it up in February and was only able to ride it for one very cold weekend before I had to deploy again, this time to Central America. I'm due back on or about the 15th of October.

For some reason yesterday, I started in a slump about being away from home and away from the bike. So to cheer myself up, I went shopping on the internet for the bike. First thing was a helmet and jacket for my girl for when we ride (and she's taking the Safety course in October). I didn't stop there. Then it was a 240 wheel with the bearing kit and a Pirelli Diablo tire. Then a UFO lowering link for the rear suspension. Oliver's Monster Big Air intake stacks with the K&N filters. Ken's PCV with the power shifter. And finally a GoPro camera with all the mounts. Oh, and I've got my eye on the race ECU and those new Akra pipes.

But wouldn't you know, I'm outta my slump! :woohoo:


My bike and my girl.

What a Legend! That's one way of doing it! :thumbsup:
Mate you will be so busy when you get back home putting all that stuff on you won't get a chance to ride it again.

My suggestion is: as hard as it will be not to put those mods on at once, just try not to and take your beast for a ride. Appreciate it for what it is and it will also give you a good baseline if the mods gave you your money's worth later

It is so much fun playing with your ride. Its like Christmas every day !!! :woohoo:

I agree. Besides, I'm not gonna want to park the bike long enough to upgrade it. The plan is to add a little here and a little there. And it will be like Christmas for the 8 or nine months that I'm due to be home!

Cheers!

I don't count sheep at night, I count horses. 170 of them. :dancing:


My brother and I are both photographers. He took the pics shortly after I left as a present. Reminds me of what I have to look forward to.
