Default new (to me) monte

I had a company vehicle in 1977 that was a red Monte Carlo. Put 50,000 miles on it in one year and never had any problems. When I saw this one on the transport, I felt a moment of nostalgia. New tires, a few small dents and 168,000 miles. Told the driver to unload it so I could look it over. Drove it and bought it. Glad I did. Looking forward to putting at least 50,000 on it. I'm retired so it'll take more than on year. Feels just right.

Welcome starrider.

My first Monte was a '76 Landau. Gotta' love those gen.2's. You could call yourself "Cloud rider" cause that's how those gen.2's ride, or should I say "float"....Lol.

Default Where I got my name

I ride a Yamaha Roadstar. Bought my first one at age 60 hence the moniker starrider60. Started riding at 12 on a Sears Cruisaire 125.
