The "idiot line" is from "Back to the Future"...right. V-Max are cool- my dentist rides one.

Yeah, that's where I stole it from...it was even funnier that as he says it, his daughter is standing in the same room (Marty's future parent) ;D

Yeah...I LOVE the Vmax...BRUTAL accelleration (No fluff).  I'm currently CB-less...but I learned so much about the darned thing before I sold it (71 750).  I want my next CB to be a 69 or 70 (Larger sidecovers), but steal the carb-rack and tank (Left-hand petcock) off a newer bike.  I'll find one somewhere eventually. 

Take care,

Josh

I AM careful...I NEVER over-rev it, and I change the oil every 2500 ;D  Sorry to hear about your uncle...tough break.
