Just got back into motorcycles. 2 Weeks, 1 Day ago  
Well after 15 years away from bikes I was looking at finding a used one for better gas mileage. I was looking to get into a v-star 1100 or 1300 But...I found a left over 06' Road Star Silverado Midnight at my local Dealer. Took it for a test ride and bought it the next day. I could not be any happier with the decision to go with the Roadie! This is a bike...the others I rode seemed like Mopeds compared to the Road Star

On the 7th day I passed the 900 mile mark! It really feels good to back in the saddle again!

I have lots of reading and several questions to ask the folks here!

See you on the Road!

I just got back into it in May. Bought a leftover Midnight Star - non-Silverado. Kinda wish I got the Silverado as I'm likely going to spend a lot more adding my own WS, Bags, etc.

I was away from riding almost 10 years. It is good to be back.

Oh yeah - and Black is faster

All you guys just getting back into it should seriously consider the MSF riders course. Nothing wrong with knocking the rust off under supervision, your family will thank you for it.

Welcome to the Clinic.
