So now I have 2 RSV's, the Raven and Yogi's big adVenture, a silver and brown model. However, I expect a renaming ceremony once I have the new paint sorted! My plan to bring my V-Star to England and then to Spain collapsed when it became impossible to get insurance on a bike that is still US registered. If I were a US citizen, it would be possible but at a cost of $100 to $150 per month on top of standard US insurance!! So, the V-Star (Freedom) will remain in Arizona and the RSV will be my ride from Phoenix to the Spearfish Ride-In in July. from there, I will ride down to Denver and ship it back to England from there, where I will then get it on English plates. Then I will most likely move it down to my place in Spain as it is already set up for riding on the wrong side of the road ;D

Bunnie, I have known the bike since it was new, the previous owner bought it in 2003 but it is an 02 colour. I ride with him when I'm in Arizona.
In fact he will be riding with me from phoenix to Spearfish, South Dakota in the summer .
