Star Chapter #488 was established by a few Star Touring & Riding members that found the need to start a new chapter in order to develop camaraderie and make new riding friends. This task was not easy.  In fact, it was a lot of work to find and secure a meeting place, and to set up a chapter with the STAR TOURING AND RIDING ASSOCIATION.  On January 16th of 2010 our new charter was signed in. The small group of riders was able the job done thanks to the help of their friends, family, and other Star Chapter members. Many riders came from near and far to celebrate that memorable and joyous day.
