Bike review for December
I tested a Honda VTX 1300 yesterday. The review will be in the December edition of Riding South. I really liked this bike. Besides being fast and having pretty goood handling, it was amazingly comfortable. At my age that counts for a lot.

I own a 73 Ironhead Sportster and me and the bank share a 07 Roadstar. The sporty and I have shared a lot of troubling times and have managed to stay together despite it all. From the very start the bike was in somewhat of fair shape and getting a manual and reading and working we’ve made the best of times now. The old engine could use a rebuild but if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. There have been cosmetic changes to suit me as would anyone else do the same. The bike does good for how it is. I’ve rode it a lot and not much has happened to stop from having a good time. Now the 07 Roadstar is a different breed in it’s own world. Going from what I thought was a big bike for me this bike is Huge. First time on it seemed like well can I hold this up and control it of what. This has proved to be a well balanced bike with ride comfort and power and good fuel milage to boot. What brought me to get this bike was the price compaired to what the Harleys are going for but my goal is to one day have a new Harley. The Roadstar is a good bike and I like it. I do own a piece of history with the Sportster because this year the Harley Davidson Sportster turned 50 years of age. In comparison of the two bikes the Roadstar has the most comfort and the Sporty gets the most attention but the good part is they have two wheels and lots of fun. Hope everyone has great results with their bikes too. Ride it like you stole it but Ride Safe.
