Hello from Souther California

Wed, 2008-07-30 07:38 — chadvicki

Well hello everyone.

I just bought my 1300 Vstar about 2 weeks ago today. I did not get the Tourer only cause I wanted to add the bags I wanted and the windshield I wanted as well. I am new to riding. I started with a Honda Rebel 250 for about a month. I used it to get my license as well.

I shopped and shopped. I wanted the Kawasaki Nomad but it was out of my price range. Besides it was a bit on the large size for me. The V Star was my next choice. I like the way it looks and I have always wanted a black and chrome bike. And it has plenty of power for me.

I am already at the 600 mile service. It's going in this week. $325 ouch.

I have added a sissy bar and saddle bag supports with bags as well. Also put a leather tank bib on from Mustang. Have lots more I want to do, just need to fertilize my money tree to get it producing more green.

Anyway I will be adding pictures soon.

Glad to have a place like this to visit.

Anyone in Southern California?

Thanks,

Chad

How-To's

The how-to pages on the left of the screen are pieces that our members have put together... there is a LOT of excellent info in our forums as well as the image galleries as well. Try putting a couple key words in the search box and hopefully you'll find the info you are looking for... if not, please post a new forum topic, and I'm sure it'll get answered.

As new how-to pages are built, I will add them to the menu structure for easy access.

Thanks Chad!
