I did it!!! Got the 03 1100 V Star!!! Woohoo!

[demenshea]

Well here she is!!! My 03 1100 V Star! I just paid for her today and we will pick her up on Wed. I can hardly wait!!! What a beauty and she truly purrs. I could hardly wait to post pix to share my excitement. So, where are we going?
Oh ya, details...she was 5k, has an addition corbin seat plus the original passenger seat. She has 16,000 highway travelin' miles and was woman owned.
Cheers all,
Donna

Grats. Your 250 Rebel story was good.

I look forward to reading more!

[Toyuzu]

I offer my condolences to your family, as I'm sure they will be missing you for a while. They will be hard-pressed to keep you off of that machine!

Almost bought one of those myself...


not bad!

Congrats Donna! Exciting stuff to get a new bike, plus to be able to move up from your Rebel 250.

So how do you feel about the difference between the two? Quite a difference I imagine!?

Hey now! I don't know if us guys are supposed to take offense at that, or not!
Nice bike Those Yamaha Stars are nice from what I've heard. You have a windshield and saddlebags...you're good to go

[KLRay]

Congrats!

[demenshea]

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments! Obviously, I am a bit jazzed!! I get to pick her up on Wednesday or Thursday and then off to the parking lot for my MSF manuvers. I am sure the weight will take some getting used to.
Hey Will, no offense meant on the "woman owned" comment...just that it was nice to find another woman rider who packed on the miles and kept a very together bike! Another demenSHEa...i was thinking i should get plates that say dmnshea...wonder if anyone would figure it out!
Thanks Tim for the updated avatar...she looks great!! Love the way it is cropped!
My family is prepped for the upcoming decent weather...lots of takeout food or frozen pizza for the boys!
Gary is looking at a 650 Vstrom for his update here next. We shall be stylin', a bit mismatched, but stylin' nevertheless! Can a Vstrom be seen with a cruiser?

Great bike! Got the chance to ride with one of these on one of our Pashnit Tours. The owner had traded up from a SV650 and found this much more comfortable.
