international family riding organization. As the, "Official Riding Organization of
STAR Motorcycles.,"STAR is a non-political, non-confrontational association. Its main
focus is on family, fun, camaraderie and RIDING. All brands of motorcycles are
welcome. Comprising over 40,000 families and over 235 chapters, STAR recognizes
safety as a first priority. The STAR community is a mix of riders with varied riding
experiences. Chapter rides follow the highway laws and limits, to keep everyone as safe
as possible. This allows everyone to enjoy the ride and not have new riders feel overly
stressed. STAR chapter rides do not include "tavern runs", and consumption
of alcoholic beverages on chapter rides is prohibited. We want to see you back
safely for the next ride. If you are looking for a family motorcycle association,
with a lot of pride, spirit and camaraderie without the "attitude" you have found
the right organization. Come ride with us and feel the spirit!!!!!
