Hi All,

Another newbie to your club. Bought my first bike at 57 years old, and love it, Dragstar 125. Great fun. A few issues with balance at slow speed and finding neutral but I'm getting better. I didn't realise the roads were in such poor condition until I took up two wheels. Clearly, I need to get to grips with some of the terminology (cans/slash cut etc?).

Never say die

Yes the roads are bad cars buses trucks vans pull out in front off you, But its the only way tp travel and you never alone on a bike or and

welcome

yup the roads are rubish in the towns and motorways find ure self some good twisties with good tarmack and bikes are golden

have fun and cans are exhausts and slash cut is a style of low rider/cruiser and choper exhaust tips

Me too! Just sold my 2006 750 Honda Shadow after riding it for 3 weeks and bought myself a new 2008 1300 V-star, awesome bike; I'm just breaking it in. Can't wait to let her rip! Great riding on Vancouver Island, B.C.

Good Riding, Rose

hello and welcome! and nice bike! i used to have one (a 04 plate black one)..... then the engine blew on me

just do me a favour.....check and change your oil on a regular basis and never, NEVER take it to cmc to get repairs! but apart from that hope you have fun if you ever need help just give me a bell.

cheers . Paul .
