My dad is 65 years old and this is his 3rd surgery in recent years. One was to repair an aneurysm that burst, the second surgery was to put a stint in his carotid artery because he wasn't getting enough oxygen to his brain and now this one. He is in no shape to be riding anymore. God damn cigarettes... he knows they are bad but he won't stop. I can't see him being safe on the road(on a bike) anymore and the rest of the family agrees. |

Sorry to hear about your dad, Rider.
You and your family will be in my thoughts. The V-Star is a great cruiser. I could be biased since it was the first bike I rode...learned on, etc.  The only reason I went from cruiser to a sport bike was because of the weight. Even though cruisers are lower to the ground, their heavy (to me) weight made riding exhausting. For a cruiser, I really liked it. Especially after we put drag bars on it.
