Someone mentioned the V-Max on another thread, so I thought I'd have a look on t'bay.

I was half tempted to post it to the 'interesting bike' thread.

I've never ridden a bike with proper ape hangers... I bet they're fun on a bike with more torque than the cast of loose wimmin.

The more I look at it, the more I want to buy it, just for a laugh!

Spooky, but I was looking at that less than 10mins ago.

If you look at the footrest hangers, they're using hexhead bolts rather than Allen bolts, recessed into the hanger, they must be a complete fucker to undo.

If I was in the market for a Firestorm, that might well be on my radar. You'd cop or a fair chunk of the purchase price back by selling all the bits that come with it! :thumbup:

This not only for the utter horror of the "vehicle" itself, but the appalling advert -

Image

From the advertisement -

Selling for a friend he doesn't use donedeal
madmax trike project

Engine back wheels and axel is citroen 2cv
Also spare engine and gearbox and 2 spare wheel rims from 2cv aswell

Bandit front end and petrol tank and i think the seat is from a bandit , also has single seat
Ducati end cans


Can someone please put this out of its misery? :wtf:

Ah the WN :) Happy days :) ....ish!

I had the blue, white and pink one. Straight line bus. it wasn't the most nimble machine I've ever ridden. I remember it as the season when Jamie Whitham was throwing his race bike into the scenery at regular intervals. He had a HUGE crash at the second half of the gooseneck at Cadwell right in front of me.
