8. Do I have to purchase and wear a vest and patches?

NO. This is optional. However, it’s encouraged since it shows your support, pride and enthusiasm for our association and chapter. It also indicates to the public that you are helping to promote our unified mission. Wearing of STAR and Chapter patches is limited to STAR and chapter members.

9. Do I have to wear leathers?

NO. Although leathers do protect you in minor accidents and from flying debris thrown up from cars and trucks.

10.  Why are there rules and By-Laws?

To protect you and other members, our children and our grandchildren. To protect association members from bikers who don't practice safe responsible riding. To promote a positive image and family friendly environment to our members and to the public. To unite and unify our association nationally and worldwide toward the same mission statement. We are family! To promote STAR in a unified manner while setting an example in our respective communities and helping others less fortunate than us.

11.  How do I join the Chapter?

Contact our Chapter President, via email:  or attend a chapter meeting. Remember, you need to participate in at least three (3) rides before being considered for Chapter membership. You will be partnered with one of our experienced, veteran members (called “Shepherds”) to help you learn the ropes. After you have completed the three rides, the chapter will then vote to accept you as a member.
