Its been a while 1 Year ago

Hello, My name is murph. I have been away for a while raising a family. My roadstar wishes I would ride her more. Now she has competition. A 2007 Honda st1300. Oh boy,what a bike!!!! I had my roadie since 2002, 75000 wonderful miles and alot of great times. After I got my new bike,I stripped most of the luggage off and removed the windshield. Now she is a full blown bar hopper. Good to be here. Thanks
