Welcome to the California chapter of the
Motorcycle Sport Touring Association (MSTA)
Notice: On
February 18th, 2009 our association's President, Dave "Brick" Brickner,
announced the new name of our association, the Motorcycle Sport Touring
Association, or
MSTA.
Yes, it will take some time for us to update all
our links, logos, and other historical references to HSTA. Please be
patient!
California
MSTA
is a motorcycle Sport-Touring club open to all brands (despite the
historical reference to Honda in our previous name). Our emphasis is
on responsible, safe, sport-touring -- regardless of the type of bike you
own. Responsible means wearing appropriate safety gear, keeping your
bike in good running condition, riding courteously around other vehicles,
and maintaining reasonable speed (taking into account traffic, weather, road
conditions, and especially, rider ability). We may ride briskly at
times, but have no illusions about what's appropriate for public roadways
versus the track...
| We
host a variety of rides through the year, including day trips, weekend
trips, and participating in national events with our parent
MSTA. Our
rides typically focus on twisty, fun roads with freeways and major highways
simply being a means to get to the good twisty roads. While we
typically stop for breaks and perhaps meals, we endeavor to demonstrate a
good image and safe riding habits by discouraging consumption of any alcohol
while riding (bars are typically NOT our destination). If
you'd like more information about CalMSTA, please see "About
CalMSTA." Additional information about
MSTA benefits in general
can be found in our Library section. Joining
is as simple as filling out the
Application Form. additional details and information can be found
at our national
MSTA
website. |
