New to this site. 3 Years, 10 Months ago  
Hi to all. I am new to the RS Clinic. I traded my Royal Star TD for this 2007 Road Star. I have only put about 800 miles on it but love the way it rides. I am retired and own other motorcycles. Love riding the Natchez Trace Parkway. I look forward to enjoying the info in the Clinic.

Hi Paul, I have 3 Yamaha XS1100's, a FZ1,a 1980 Suzuki GS1100E, a Triumph Bonneville, a 1960 HD Panhead and a 1959 Cushman Eagle. The hobby got a little out of hand but it is a great retirement hobby.
