New Joiner here 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
Hello, I just joined up here today. I started riding motorcycles in 1963. I bought my Midnight Star in 2003. I have to say, this bike has never disappointed me in any way and, I love throwing a leg over it every chance I can. I am looking forward to being part of this forum.
