When we switch to the new forum software, the new forum will be getting a "member map" at the tp of the forum where you can place your pins on the map of the world, and then when a new pin pops up in your area (Ontario), you can click on their pin and send them a pm to go ride! We will also be creating a new app called "Clubs'. A Club can be created with it's own forum board and these will be great for regional clubs that you can create. Good stuff coming

Yeah, there's a bunch of us ole VMOA, VMax Owner Assoc Members who have known each other since the mid 90's. Some still ride Gen 1 VMaxes, others ride the newer Gen 2 VMaxes, reflashed right at 200 RWHP. After 3 VMaxes I was riding a 2000 ZRX1100 and also had a 1996 ZX11 Ninja. I'm more into the 2nd gear twisties where some of them are much more into the high-speed sweepers. We meet up in May in Eureka Springs then in September at Deals Gap. Besides that, I'm riding the piney woods of east Texas and NW Louisiana. And since I'm only 1 to 1/2 hours below Arkansas I can be by Push Mountain, Mountain View and Mountain Home, Clinton, Hector, that whole area in 1 day. Ride right up Scenic Hwy 7 from Arkadelphia. So a 3 day or 4 day weekend in Arkansas is easy. Pix of the ole steeds! Do you still have that ZRX-1100 ? That one is absolutely beautiful. I have always been fond of them.

Well, a member on the Tenere 700 Forum test rode a Niken with a group of people. He said that everyone in the group loved the way it handled and that they all went 10-20% faster around the hgh speed corners due to the increased traction and confidence. He also remarked that it was cool to be abe to hit the brakes in the corner and not have the bike stand up. He also posted some pics , you have to join the forum to see his post but it only takes a second. https://www.tenere700.net/forums/topic/38-hey-yamaha-that-niken-isnt-selling/?do=findComment&comment=202

I talked to a few Yamaha dealers about this. They all said the same thing. NOBODY is asking about this bike. And none of the dealers are ordering any Nikens. Yamaha will not discount any demo bikes for dealers, and dealers do not want to floor model a Niken and risk being stuck with an expensive bike that nobody wants. This bike better perform in some currently unknown way. Or it will fail miserably. What pisses me off is that Yamaha could have just released the Tenere 700 instead of wasting years of R&D on this three wheeled bike that nobody wants. Someone is gonna get fired. Maybe an entire dept.

I love Rocky Mountain ATV. Awesome Tire rebates, fast shipping, amazing customer support. They are like Revzilla was before Cycle Gear bought them. @rtaylor522 They send in the Tire rebate for you when you buy, and then you get a mastercard gift card in the mail, tires end up being dirt cheap https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/l/Current-Tire-Offers?il_medium=main-tire-offers&il_source=home#motorcycle

Same as we have been doing with all cars trucks and bikes for many many years. A simple oil filter wrench.

The First line oil filter is made by Rocky Mountain ATV and I have been using them over a year. No probs, good quality and the internals look even better than stock. Oil Filter fits FZ09 , FJ-09, MT 09 and MT 09 Tracer and MT 09 Tracer GT Filter https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/1280/15040/Tusk-First-Line-Oil-Filter?v=14465 Crush Washer https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/988/49323/Tusk-Crush-Washer?v=14465

What you got?

I have two pairs of Held gloves. Every serious rider should have a pair. Some of the best ever made. https://www.revzilla.com/held-motorcycle-gloves?gclid=CjwKCAjw4PHZBRA-EiwAAas4Zgw9hJOmJp2yULDB0793zF9ZmXyMnkDpVSuV5szXIv4Sv9Uc2eTM9xoCQYIQAvD_BwE&kclid=770d6bc7-3d78-4ea9-b388-9450761d1b91&view_all=true
