About STAR Touring & Riding Association

Conceived in 1995 and founded in 1996, STAR Touring and Riding Association is an international family riding organization. As the "Official Riding Organization of Star Motorcycles", 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 42,000 families and over 275 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. Come ride with us and feel the spirit!!!!!

About Chapter 481

The South Shore, NJ STAR Chapter 481 is a newly chartered member of the STAR Touring & Riding Association. Organized to bring the STAR Family experience to family oriented motorcycle riders in the South Jersey Shore area.
There will usually be one or two Saturday, or Sunday, chapter rides scheduled per month. Many of these rides may be 100 miles or less. We will also have rides that are much longer, and to many interesting places in the tri-state area. For those who like to do overnight or long distance rides, we have STAR Days (week long rally, the third week in July), STAR-Bar-B-Q (usually a weekend at various locations), and other venues along the East coast.
You can join us at our monthly meetings, at one of our supporting dealerships, Atlantic City Cycle Center, Seaville Motor Sports or Southern Ocean Cycle Center. Check our Home Page for the exact location, date and time. You can also join us for any Chapter ride (up to three rides), before you must join STAR Touring & Riding Association International www.startouring.org, and then be voted into the Chapter.



Although STAR Touring & Riding is the Owner’s Group for the Star line of motorcycles, we accept riders of any brand, or model, of street motorcycle – you don’t have to have a Star brand, to join in the fun.

It doesn't matter WHAT you ride, All that matters is THAT you ride.
