You may now create your own 1300 Chapter! Check the Chapters link to the left to see if there is already one established... if not, create one by clicking Create Content then Chapter.

Thanks for visiting! Before you dive into the sea of information here, please create your free account. Once you do, you will have access to all of the information as well as the ability share your own stories, photos, and blogs! There are lots of features that I am working on that will be restricted to registered users. Please share your experiences with Yamaha's motorcycle, the V-Star 1300 and the 1300 Tourer.

Over the past year, our site has steadily grown and membership now is over 1500 worldwide. The 1300 Tourer and the 1300 is now in it's third year, and it is doing well! I started this website with the intention of it being the premier website for information regarding Yamaha's new addition to their line, the V-Star 1300 Tourer.

During my first year of ownership, I took a 3500 mile round trip to the Grand Canyon on the 1300 Tourer. This was a huge improvement over my trip to Yellowstone on my old 650 V-Star Custom! I needed the ability to climb mountain roads with all of my gear attached. I think Yamaha's 1300 Tourer is perfect... not to mention the huge hard saddlebags that are big enough to hold all of my camping equipment.

Please join our family... create your account, and introduce yourself in the forums. Our family grows every day, and we are happy and excited to have you join in!

Hi Everyone!

I hope everyone made it home safely from our 2nd Annual Meet and Greet. For those of you that couldn't make it, I hope you can next year! We will be heading west to the Rockies. I do not have a location pin pointed at this time, but we have a lot of research ahead of us! I've replaced the 2009 Meet & Greet page with the 2010 Meet & Greet page.

This years gathering was a big learning experience for myself as our 2nd Annual was much bigger than our 1st Annual by all aspects. Logistically, this year was completely different. Chrissy and I took a lot of notes once we arrived home which should make our 3rd Annual Meet & Greet bigger, better, and much more streamlined plus give the attendees many more activity options.

While on the subject, I wanted to especially thank those companies that contributed to our silent auction. If you are in the market for any of the services they offer, please consider giving them your business.

Those of you who attended this year's charity dinner at Mountain Motorsports are now aware that I am in the process of starting a non-profit organization - Riders United LLC. At the moment, we are waiting for the non-profit status from the IRS and building the Board of Directors. This organization will be membership based upon it's launch (scheduled for January 2010). Riders United's focus will be building an online motorcycle community (similar to 1300tourer.com) but with a focus on volunteer and charity work. I will keep everyone updated on the organizations progress.
