The Yamaha Road Star Warrior Forum

Just bought a new Warrior August 28th.  Sorry, didn't have much time to write until now.  RIDING! :-)

Have almost 1,000 miles now and MAN AM I HAPPY WITH THIS MACHINE!  Stock, candy red.  Tires smoking. :-)

Until August 06 I had not ridden in 24 years.  Last memory was doing 80 on my head after some idiot playing chicken with me on a very dark US 1.  Too bad I didn't know game on, but that's another story.  Anyway, after 10 years in Alaska and 6 years in Houston Texas, I moved to Fort Collins, Colorado and decided it was time to ride again.  The weather is just too fine.  Got a Suzuki M50 to get into riding again.   Should have bought used, but worried about the miles I do.  I do 105 miles a day to back and forth to work.  Anyway, I was ready for a bigger bike in about 3 months and it's taken until now to talk to wife into the new bike.  Last year I almost went M109, but man am I glad it did not work out!  The craftsmanship, the performance, the MUCH LIGHTER weight.  This baby is awesome.   

I love all the info and pics on this site.

What he said.    Glad to have you.

Welcome to the best damn forum on the net. Period.

I am pretty new here as well. I have been so busy lurking at all the pics and reading all I can so I haven't posted a lot. This is definately the best of any of the motorcycle forums I have used, GREAT people here!

Anyway, I am also in northern CO and look forward to meeting you some day. I commute from Milliken to Longmont and in 5 weeks have already racked up 1400 miles on the new Warrior.

Lovin every minute of it....oh boy, bad Loverboy reminder...

Hey. I was hached in Pueblo,25 years of cookin' in high alt. and I moved to Central FL. Riden' my Beastie to Dallas TX and then back to Fl. my only thought is more paddin' for the rump if U do any long distances. Oh  By the way, Warrior gets about 50 mpg. on the highway,if U drive like a sain man(using LUCAS fuel additive and not havin any problems- 1 oz per tank)or mid grade. Harley riders hated me all the way down I-10,oh did I mention Warrior has more power stock than a screamin eagle modd HD

Welcome to BOTH of you!

Good to have you with us.

welcome

Looks like you got the same 2008 I did.  I bought my candy red 08 on August 10th, 08.

 Welcome, I just got a warrior myseflf. Bought an M50 a couple of years to learn on, which is a great bike, but does not compare with the warrior. Was torn between Mean Streak, M109 and the Warrior. Then I saw a warrior with a 240 rear tire, and knew that this was the perfect bike for me. Love it.

ntil August 06 I had not ridden in 24 years.  Last memory was doing 80 on my head after some idiot playing chicken with me on a very dark US 1.  Too bad I didn't know game on, but that's another story. 

Not sure if i read this correct, but 1) Congrats on still being with us and 2) welcome to the forum... 

Thanks for all the welcome replies.  Just back at work after vacation and kinda swamped.

Thanks again and everybody ENJOY that ride!
