Well Ronnie has finally gone and done it and bought himself a great summer toy!!! After looking for awhile in spring 2009 he finally found an awesome deal on a 2005 anniversary edition Yamaha Vmax.

Some of the features of this model include:

Special Shift Red paint with flames & Red Pinstripes
Blacked out rims
Yellow turn signal bulbs behind clear lenses
Serial-numbered anniversary plate

With the completion of the motorcycle safety/licensing course at the end of May he is sure looking forward to great summer weather!!!
