Looks like a 750 Maxim.

Correct me if I'm wrong but is this a 750 Max in this vid? Kudos to the trucker.

 

Bingo!

You have won a lifetime supply of dihydrogen monoxide.

It's good to see that there are a few professional truck drivers left that know how to be professional.

 

Actually now that I watched it on my PC it's obvious that it's a Max. Couldn't really tell on my phone. The Chicago area isn't tops on my list of places I want to ride. And dihydrogen monoxide sounds like a very dangerous substance.

 

I have an 82 XJ750 Maxim and I'd say it performs as well as hers. Unfortunately I'm greatly addicted to it so spending money on parts to fix it is only a big deal to my wife.

Great act on the truckers part. Good man.

 

The thing is once you "fix" these bikes correctly they are very reliable and a joy to ride.

 

My 750 max has only given me trouble on the road once, and that was the dreaded original fuse box trying to rearrange the fuses on me. Easy fix and 2 years later finally got a new fuse box to replace it. Now I just have to fix a leaky fork seal, will probably go ahead and get Chacal's deluxe rebuild kit.

Great job by the trucker! Being a truck driver that drives through the NY city area almost every day it gets harder and harder to be a real professional when their are so many people on the road that only care about themselves.

 

Personally, I love the stuff. It REALLY goes well in my coffee.... Especially when it's hot.

Often I'll overdo the consumption, but when I do, my body expels it easily enough usually without any hard feelings.

Ymmv,

Looks like our bikes our mimicking each other. I just experienced the rearranging fuse box and just upgraded to Chacal's kit. The forks are leaking and the high performance kit is on my bench and ready for the installation to begin.

 

it has blistering fumes and if inhaled in large quanities causes death

 

Doesn't taste very good either.

 

I think it does taste quite good... At least here. I've tasted various samples of it at other locations, but often there are elevated levels of chlorine, or fluoride in it-- which affect the taste.

I also find it makes me stop perspiring if I consume some of it with it's solid form floating in it, too. That works best if you have the proper equipment, though. To do that,you must be able to drop the temperature to at least 0 degrees Celsius. A bit lower is preferred. Once the solids have thoroughly formed, add them to the liquid, shake to mix well, and taste.

Funny thing is, it's actually beneficial to the body. Even fairly copious amount are of benefit.

 

I find that blending dihydrogen monoxide with crushed barley, cooking it, fermenting it, distilling the resulting liquid, and aging it in barrrels imparts a very pleasant flavor.

 

now we're talkin. switch the barley for rye, if you please... shall we agree to a minimum of 12 years?

 

5 is all you need. Stranahan's my friend.

I'd swim to the bottom, and drink it all up."

 

Another interesting bit of trivia..... If the resulting gas that is produced is trapped, it will infuse the liquid--- and continue to do so until/unless there is a controlled stopping point. The result is a relatively strongly tingly sensation in the mouth, nose or throat as it ingested. There are some drawback.... On of which can be some unexpected ( and sometimes fairly forceful expulsions of air or other gasses from one or more parts of the body... Which sometimes may be barely noticeable, and other time quite audible --- these could also bother other people who are either overly sensitive, or otherwise allergic.
