Default Pic of Unique Vmax

Check out this Vmax I found in the virtual home show pictures. I'm not really sure if it is supposed to be a ninja turtle or what but it is pretty neat looking!

Gee, it looks mean and could do anything. I could ride the wind in that, but I have yet to learn to drive those big bikes.

You will find this amusing I am sure. I can ride them, LOVE to. But I am so short that I have to have an extra set of legs to ride. In other words, anytime I ride the big bikes, I have to get my husband or his brother to ride with me. They won't do it often because they "ain't riding B****". I need longer legs!

Pretty cool looking bike! I think it was probably actually inspired by the way they painted the Kittyhawk WWII Fighter. My grandfather actually used to fly one.

Could you get some tall boots that would make you taller

That's a very cool looking bike - And I get the reference to the WW II fighter.

By the way, is that exhaust pipe factory? I'm not familiar with the V-Max, but that looks pretty big to me.

I tried that. I actually bought some Harley riding boots with 5inch "boost" on them. I could reach the ground but I couldn't balance well enough to trust riding alone.

What about the boots plus lowering the bike? It changes the handling a little but I know quite a few people that have done it for one reason or another

This last bike we had was low as it would go. I'm gonna get a Vstar 250 here real soon and I think it will be perfect. We will see once I get it home.

Very cool! I like custom paint jobs and hope that I can find something perfect for me once I get my bike. I think anytime you can personalize a vehicle you're truly making it your own.
