NEW BIKE 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Have traded in 2000 Road Star Silverado with 81,000klms for a 2012 Royal Star Venture S no klms.Deal was done last Fri.May 18th Got $5500can. trade-in. Put on passing lights,driver's back-rest,trunk chrome rack,3rd brake-light wing,and also bigger back-rest for passenger.Will be getting trailer-hitch but can't justify $400+ for one so will probably make my own.Main thing is WIFE is more COMFORTABLE on new bike than Roadie! Not that she didn't LIKE it BUT her tail-bone and back were killing her after a ride and you know how that can affect everything! I will be still visiting now and then !Thanks for all the help and hope I can help!
