Hi All.

New here, and a new rider as well from Hilliard.

I've always wanted to ride, and finally took the Riders Edge course at C&A HD this past summer, and have been saving some dough for a bike.

I ended up getting a 2004 Yamaha VStar 650 Classic a couple weeks ago, and brought it home.

I have taken it out once last week, so I can fill it up, and get ready to drool while it sits in the garage for the winter. My first solo ride, and got about 5 miles on it before I decided I was frozen. I was a bit nervous riding, but I'm starting out slow, and respecting the bike.

This winter I plan to tinker with it a bit. I really need a paint job. The owner before me had some stickers on it, which pulled the paint when I removed them, and it looks like he's wiped some areas with sandpaper instead of a soft rag. I'd like a different color anyway, thinking of a couple shades of red.

Glad to have found this site, Hopefully I'll meet some great folks, learn a few things, and help some others.

Be safe!

No worries, no plans to take her out in the cold. I hate the cold too much, anything under 45 degrees is out of the question. :)

Welcome to the site. I am a fairly new rider also and I live in Hilliard. If you want to get some riding in let me know. My husband and I both ride. There are alot of roads around here that are good to learn on. My bike is only a 250 but I enjoy riding none the less. Hope to see you around at our OR events.
