Ziggy Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Hey guys! I'm sure I met some of you this weekend at the Anniversary ride, and I wanted to put up a thread to introduce myself to the rest of my OR Cruiser bretheren. I've been on OR for a while, mostly trolling around, but the more time I spend here, I'm sure my post count will grow.I live in Cincinnati (Morrow/Maineville) area, near King's Island, and ride a slightly customized 2000 V-Star 650 Custom. I commute daily to Sharonville on my bike, so if anyone is down for a short afternoon/evening ride sometime let me know, if I can get a hall pass from my wife, I'll jump in with ya!I really suck with names, so if I met you at the party, let me know... I'll try to remember who I talked to.Here's a pic of my bike:This is my wife and I on my last V-Star:Is there a regular weekly ride in Cincinnati that anyone does?Can't wait to meet more of you guys!

max power Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hey Ziggy, It was me that told you about "this little thing of ours" at the party. That bike sounds sweet. Welcome to the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hey thanks for the compliments guys, that pic was right after washing it, before I put the bags back on, I normally run it with a pair of TourMaster Angled bags, and a TourMaster Fork bag. The VStar 650's all have drum brakes, even the new '09's. Cost savings I guess. It's pretty easy for the oem's to go with drum brakes when the bike is shaft drive.

Strictly Street Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Still like that paint. Ya know I thought that was a harley at first glance and never looked twice at it. Somebody (BigBlueBird I think) pointed out it wasn't so I had to take a closer look and see.Sho, nuff', VStar. I am such a noob when it comes to the newer bikes. Can't tell one from the other.
