No I forgot to mention besides being old enough to be here dad, Im as ugly as sin and have fk all personality (I do shower regular though) :-)

Yeah, but has he got a Dragstar..... I nearly have :-)

Have you considered running off with trailer on bike.... dont get wed, live on the road (who needs a chick with mates here) LOL Pan's are nice looking bikes though, and reviews seem great, better mileage (well bigger tank capacity) and cheaper than stars. But a star is a dream for me :-) I'm in child mode now :-)

Thanks guys I was even looking at a Honda Pan Euro, but as a cruiser has always been my aim, and a Star for a long time, Im glad your feedback is as it is. Just got get one now :-)

Yeah, see what you mean, I have looked at both classic and custom and to be honest the classic is my fave, bit of shiny stuff and the front wheel looks chunkier :-)

Thanks lads

I am still looking for my first bike (650 or 1000) and now moving house so need a bike for daily use really. I see a lot that have never seen rain, but does anyone use these bikes for daily commute and if so, are they still a good buy for city center driving etc. Maybe I should buy an older model Star so not too worried about dirt, salt, rain etc Or do I need to be looking at an alternative bike? Thanks

Why is the Custom better?

Thanks Joe, Yeah thats pretty much the idea I had, no real fix on time, sat nav on my bike (because I'd be riding round in the same circle without it), stopping were looks nice or when had enough riding, If i fancy a shower, then its a B&B / Hostel etc, otherwise its the tent.

Thanks Pat Hope you get there, I still have to get my first bike yet :-)

The 9 day trip sounds good. I was thinking of just shooting off and leaving the world behind for a month .. perhaps thats too long. I have plenty of time to plan :-) Thanks again Dirty

Oh yeah, why not Spain?

Thanks Dirty What is a hostel card? Im off to Google

Hello all Still havent got my Dragstar yet but its still going to happen. I have always fancied doing the roadtrip thing and am thinking of taking a month out next summer and going I'm thinking of France / Spain but am open to suggestions. I have no bikey mates so have no idea what I should do in terms of places to stay (tent/hostel etc) Has anyone done this, what do i need to think about? Ok, I know its 12 months away but Coronation St is on :-)

Hummmmm I may be needing one of those as well then, Has she got a sister :-))

Thanks a lot, I need to go and see some for myself 5 Bags of flower ?? :-)

Im still pondering the purchase of my first bike. I will need to carry around with me my university work (laptop couple of books) and my gym gear I was going to have some panniers to carry this stuff and without getting off my ass to go to a shop and see how big these things are, Im wondering how much you can get into these bags. I have also seen a site that sells canvas types that seem bigger, What do you guys use and how much do you get in them Thanks

Love them, No sissy bar for me though :-)

Thanks Pat I wont be going too far on mine either and the 60mph woud be enough even on the motorway I guess. I dont like the look of the screen really. The Classic is the one I want also, More chrome and it seems the front wheel is fatter (which I think looks better) I'm still looking around, but I may wait a little while and buy towards the end of the summer. I have stuff I need to do and a new bike will mean I wont do it :-)

Thanks Leath

While thinking about my first bike, I am leaning towards a 1000 (ish) I was looking at Dragstars but I like the look of the Midnightstars also What is the difference between these, is it just engine sizes, or is it size of bike etc I guess I need to go and play in a bike shop and sit on them Thanks

Right, the bins are going on Ebay :-)

When you say steals it from me ... You mean asks for it back :-)

Thanks everyone again for the help I would prefare a 1100 but the prices seem a little out of reach for now so may be the 650 I have found an auction that is selling to wooden, yes 'wooden' Harleys, they seem to be promo items and look great :-) http://cav.auctionview.co.uk/StockDetail.asp?Registration=WOOD2&QueryStockIndex=42&RecCount=70&Selection=%2FQueryStock.asp&image=1&Sale=163356
