Hello everyone.
GARider here aka Rich.
I am from Northeast Georgia but originally from upstate New York then a few years in Western Connecticut. I have been on 2 wheels from Minibikes to dirt bikes to sport bikes now cruisers for many years and currently ride 2018 Star Venture Transcontinental.
I have many awesome roads here mainly for Sport Bikes because of the fast twistiest however I ride my current bike like a sport bike basically I ride it like I stole it.
Been active on one other site for Yamaha bikes and was told about this site and look forward to posting and viewing riding videos and pictures.

Welcome from Niagara Falls! Fellow sport bike guy here. Yes you have some beautiful roads down there. Upstate New yourk is good too. I went to a ride down Binghampton way a few years back.

Love the bike, I haven't been tempted to go the full bagger yet but when I do that Star is what I want. Love the front faring. What sport bike did you have?

Glad to see you made it here. Hopefully soon site will be sorted, growing pains currently. Looking forward to ride videos and reports.

Thanks @Tinsnips.
I liked this full size cruiser mainly it has sportbike look. I just wished that Yamaha would have continued with this bike.
Mine was plagued with all documented/known issues for this bike and has been in the shop longer that it has been under my A$$. The last major fix took over a year and just now got it back.
So far from what I know and the folks I talked to I haven’t heard any of the Canadian models have issues.
My last real sport bike was an 1996 Suzuki RF 900.

Oh! The RF900 was a very underrated bike! It used a lot of internals from the bulletproof 1100 engine & transmission. Solid ride for sure.
