Hey gang. My name is Bill. I live in Virginia Beach, VA. I'm in the US Navy and purchased my '07 Roadstar Silverado two months ago. Love it! My wife loves it! My kids love it! My prior motorcycle was a '05 Suzuki C50. Had a good time learning to ride on that bike, but the Roadstar is where it's at for me!

Just installed V&H Longshots HS and installing a Dynojet Jet kit. I'm no motorcycle mechanic but I am a FA-18 Structural Mechanic. I've already learned a lot from Road Star Clinic and all of you who have posted here. I hope I can add some of my lessons learned over the next few years while I upgrade my Star.

Thanks to all of you taking the time to share your experiences and expertise. You've already helped make my time with my bike pure joy.


Well you bought the best roadstar ever made, and the fastest color, of course I might be a little biased Edit: I forgot to say welcome to everyone who's recently posted

Re:Please introduce yourselves!! - Again 10 Years, 4 Months ago  
Hello All! I'm Dave Seward. Live here in North east Ohio. Bought my 07 RoadStar in June. Been to the shop more times than I like to remember. But it's been great since it came back this time. Looking forward to "Playing" with it over the winter. Wife says I can't leave anything alone.

Job wise I'm a Senior Quality Engineer at a stamping plant in Cleveland. Also have a home business that keeps us from traveling as much as I'd like to. Wife raises pet Chinchilla's. About 300 of them. (No coat jokes please, Gets her worked up something fierce..)

Other than having 3 kids (All over 21 and on their own thankfully!) and 2 grandkids. That's about it for the short version!

Great to meet you all!

Throwing my welcome to all of you as well. Hey, 2007 Silverado owners, how does it feel to have the fastest colors??

Sorry Musky. Couldn't resist.

Your still gonna get me in trouble! Although I never thought of that!

Besides to do dtthat would take about 10 or more chinchillas. And the lowest price one is $100. (Depending on the color you chose!) So that would be a very soft but expensive seat cover that you could never get wet. So here in NE Ohio. There goes 1/3 your riding season.

Welcome to the clinic Mrirwin, Va. Beach is my home town, course, I may not recognise it now.
Let us know when you get an "afterburner" instllaed on that Roadie! Course a couple of "Side Winders" may not hurt either.

Hi All

My name is Dave and my seatmate Marni and I have a 2005 Midnight Star. So far we have added a back rack, Lindby Bars and Roadhouse Dooleys ("Much more comfortable with the footrests down" says the long legged Marni!)We live and ride in Southwest BC Canada Where year round riding is possible as long as you can handle the rain! We enjoy the clinic and all the characters here as well as the great information.
