TJ Presents: "STAR STRUCK"

2001 Yamaha Road Star Midnight Edition

This site is dedicated to the love of motorcycling and personal customization on a limited budget. It documents the progress made as a pictorial diary. I would like to dedicate this to my wife who purchased "Star Struck" as a gift for me, and all the patience, love, and understanding she has shared with me throughout our marriage...
