STAR DAYS is the largest Star Motorcycle/ metric motorcycle event in North America.

Q. I cancelled my packet before the cutoff date and was charged a $10.00 cancellation fee. Why?
A. STAR is charged banking fees to run credit cards, both ways. Writing and returning a check and cancelling a packet from the data base is labor intensive with a limited staff.
Q. I registered after June 2, 2010 and was charged a $10.00 late fee. Why?
A. After online registration is finished we have to order event shirts, patches, pins, wristbands, the list goes on. Adding in registrations is done manually, and frequently will overrun the pin, patch, or event shirt order. This causes additional orders which brings the price higher and burdens the staff in the late hours of planning the event.

A. No, the shirt is an extra; you do not have to go on the ride to purchase a shirt. You do not have to buy a shirt to go on the ride. The SWAMPAZZ ride is part of the event just register for the event to go on the ride.

Q. Why are there not more vendors at STAR DAYS?
A. STAR DAYS is a smaller event, we do not attract 50,000 plus people like larger rallies. The vendors are in business and need to make sales to stay in business. We try to have a good range of products so all the vendors can make sales. Each year STAR sends out more than 100 invitations to quality vendors to attend our event. If you know of a good quality traveling vendor that you would recommend and do business with please refer them to the International office.
