    Ramp

    Introduction

    Top of the day to whoever reads this! I have been riding for 16 years, been a motorcycle salesman, mechanic, a racer at Sears, and a submariner in the Navy. My first bike was an '82 Yamaha 650 Maxim. Loved that bike. Thought it was the best, most well designed bike; it had lines that flowed...
