Figure I might as well :) 2 Years, 7 Months ago  
Well after being a member to many different forums, and having dealt with a lot of d-bag people...I have looked, and read a lot of different posts on this forum, it seams like everyone on here is very friendly, and offers amazing advise! Even for a post that is really easy to answer, the responses dont make you feel dumb! So now for me . Im picking up my first 2000 Roadstar Silverado tomorrow! Im super excited to have such a nice bike with mucho power! Im coming from a 2003 honda shadow spirit...great bike, but lack of comfort and power. So here is the picture from the deal, and ill post more after I get it! Wish me luck!

Welcome Batman!!!

Glad to welcome you to the Clinic! I've found that there's never a dumb question around here, although there are many different opinions on a lot of topics.

get your pic sized right...we want to see that Roadie!
