I love riding my gen1 but I kept getting the itch to sport about town with a little more humph then Blu has. A lady in Memphis offered to sell me an old Yamaha that was taking up room in her garage. I have a couple of Seca 750 yammies and thought this one might at least be good for parts at $500 bucks. I took the trailer over to get it. In the garage, I found a 2001 VMAX with 4500 miles on the clock. I told her it was worth more but she said to get it away from her so I paid her and left. I knew it had not been run for several years and expected the worst. I went to drain the gas but found none. I checked the carbs and cleaned something oily from them but they were clean. I drained the fluids and changed them, put in the gas, put on a new battery and it fired right up. It had cobra slip ons and sounded like the hotrod it is. I noticed a large amount of oil leaking around the third gear and the cover on the thirdgear is bent. I bought the whole assembly and look forward to dropping the swingarm and changing it out. The bike is perfect, paint and all except for one corner of the middle seat which a rat or dog or something got. I think I have it all now! Two bikes for two kinds of riding!

I got home yesterday from a 10 day business road trip out west, my wife and my daughter are sick, I'm fighting off a cold or something?, my dog has a terrible case of the fleas, & I find out due to "Corporate Restructuring" my job is in serious jeopardy. I finally get home in the evening, no beer in the house:bang head: , and I sit and watch my beloved Tarheels drop their third straight game. At least my hotrod is still in the garage, I think I heard it crying last night wanting me to take it for a ride. OK, I am finished venting. Thanks for listening. Dave
