Hi.  I just got back to Fredericksburg Va from Cocoa Beach Fl, where I purchased a used 2012 star venture s that was previously triked by Hannigan Trikes.  I also own a V star 1300 tourer (2 wheeled variety), and previously owned a V star 950 tourer.  I have been riding since age 14, am going to be 60 in a little over 1 month, and have owned hondas, suzukis, 1 Kawasaki, and a few Japanese scooters.  I am hoping to connect with some other venture trikers and/or v-star riders.  I am going to see how the trial membership goes, and will most likely join on a yearly basis.   
Twelve dollars a year is, in my opinion, more than reasonable.
