Hello From New Jersey 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Hello Clinic

Just realized i skipped this part. sorry guys

The names Jazz im 23 from NJ. Current bike is a 01' RoadStar 1600 Midnight - HardChrome 3", k&n chrome Filter, Drag bars(not installed) not sure if theres a list of mod's i just picked it up last month. it does have Chrome for days! it gets to be to much.



I recently got talked into a crusier from EVERYONE! i was to wreckless with my old bike.
a few friends have hd's and m109r's so i tinkered with the thought. the Hd's are TINY! and the M109 Looks to plasticy/fake. i already have a few yamaha toys 99 Banshee Drag bike, 04 Raptor 660, and a 03 Blaster. My father has a big boy royal star and my brother has a Roadstar. After driving my brothers Roadstar i was sold, Kinda wanted the Warrior but i would have got into some trouble with that bike. So i Made the switch from a 2004 Honda RC-51. Not only do i feel more comfortable, Insurance doesnt kill my pocket and i drive alot safer.


Anyways i really like the forum. you guys are helpful, havnt got the run around with any questions ive asked.

Heres a bad picture
