All About STAR Touring & Riding
Chapter #161
Conceived
in 1995 and founded in 1996, STAR Touring
and Riding Association is an international
family riding organization. As the,
"Official STAR Organization of Yamaha
Motor Corp.," 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 20,000 families and
over 150 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.
Chapter
#161 proudly serves the counties of
Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Cruz in
California, USA. We enjoy some of the
finest motorcycle roads in the country,
along with some of the most diverse scenery
you can find anywhere. Riders from
other chapter are encouraged to join us and
annually we proudly host a large
multi-chapter gathering for the annual
Hollister Motorcycle Rally each July.
