newman Posted August 15, 2008 #1 Posted August 15, 2008 Hey Guys, My buddy just bought a 2008 Yamaha V-Star 1300 and he is pumped. I suggested he should get to know all you guys in here as it is the absolute BEST site on the Net with the most helpful "bikers" out there and the most incredible FORUMS he will find on the net. Let's welcome him.....He'll be joining soon..... Thanks, Paul http://www.windows-xp-update.com http://www.ontario-motorcycle-rides.com
Snarley Bill Posted August 15, 2008 #2 Posted August 15, 2008 me and dragonrider both have v-star 1300's. i love mine. bill
DragonRider Posted August 15, 2008 #3 Posted August 15, 2008 He will love it, I have been riding the dickens out of mine, just got back from Ashville, and also rode it to Skids Skid in at his place in WV. Tell him to join up, he will love it here..........he may get some ribbing about being on a Harley clone but its all in good nature. Its a great bike and I havent had a bit of trouble out of mine. In fact I just put new Avon Venom's on it and it makes it handle so much better than the Dunlops that come on it, tell him to be prepared to replace those original tires in about 7500 miles. wpredock said: me and dragonrider both have v-star 1300's. i love mine. bill
bluestreak62 Posted August 15, 2008 #4 Posted August 15, 2008 Hey Newman, Thanks for the intro and all your help over the last few days. I've posted some pics of the new bike online with more to come.
DragonRider Posted August 16, 2008 #5 Posted August 16, 2008 Nice bike, like all the safety chrome you put on it...........keep up the good work..................replace those original equip tires with Avon Venoms and you will be amazed how different the bike feels.......they dont make a 170/70 16 for the rear, so I went with a 160/80 16 and the ride and handling are great............. Congratulations..............:thumbsup:
bluestreak62 Posted August 16, 2008 #6 Posted August 16, 2008 Thanks, Will keep that in mind when the time comes to replace the tires. Have to get the other goodies first.
