I'm a member of the Honda Sport Touring Association ( HSTA ). All type bikes are welcome. The group age and riding style varies quite a bit, from fairly slow to really quick. There are scheduled events ( and non-events ) throughout the year at various fantastic locations. We meet on Friday at the designated motel, ride saturday and ride home sunday. This year the biggest event ( STAR 06 ) will be held in Avon Colorado. Go to
www.ridehsta.com and find your local chaptor. Some of the websites are not as active as others. Some of the more active sites we talk on are the Arkansas Gap site
www.ar-gap@yahoogroups.com. Also, the south carolina site sub site of NC / SC. Just hit the local site icon on the main home page, hit SC then scroll down to NC / SC. The arkansas group is more of a sport bike group, and the S.E. groups tend to be more on the sport touring side plus there is lots of interest in Dual Sports over hear. I'm not as familiar with the hsta groups further west than Arkansas. Check us out, it's pretty fun. Friday and Saturday nights there is plenty of tire kicking and story telling, plus good food. You get a package upon arrival with various route options etc... at each event. We split up into small groups so it's not one huge group ride. The average number that shows up is between 50 and 80 people per event, however, STAR has hundreds of riders show up.
