Hello from Virginia!!! 11 Months ago  
Hey guys!

This is Strike from Virginia. Don't have a Roadstar yet, but have a good direction of where I want to go with it. So now its just going out to find one. Have a pretty deep love for bikes...especially the Star bike line! I currently own a Raider that I have pretty much modded and finished. I am a highly active member over on the Raider Forum. Cant wait to locate...cut....grind on the new project! Look forward to chatting and learning more with you guys.
