Title: Me & My v45
Post by: sharp21 on June 06, 2007, 07:03:51 PM
My wifes father got me turned on to the v4's with his Max.
I just got an 83 v45 & I love it!  
Unfortunately I love it so much that I think I need to get rid of it at the end of the season...  Its a great bike, & ive got it purring, but if I was to hang onto it then itll need shocks, braided lines, etc, etc.  The finish on a lot of the parts isnt too good, so if im going to spend the money updating the bike then I think I am going to get a Super...  
At any rate I hope to learn lots here!

Welcome to the club, once you ride a V4 nothing comes close, cept one of those big ol Valks.   From what I've seen here, these puppies are like lays potato chips,  You just can't have only one...  :shock:

Thanks gang!  Im gonna learn as much as I can about this one, then work on getting either a super, v65 or a 3rd gen over the winter.
Roboto65, what do you do exactly?  I live up in Red Deer, Alberta, but I work down in the Gulf for Cal-Dive.  Im in & out of Galveston quite a bit, I even made the LoneStar rally last year!

Sharp, if you get down this way again gives us a heads up and maybe we can organize something around your visit.

Sure ill keep you posted.  The ship I work on is alongside in Mobile, AL right now.  By the time I get back down she should be back to work.  We have been repairing platforms ever since Katrina...
