Having grown up in the Rochester NY metro area, I well-recall Robinson Cycles on Ridge Rd. in Spencerport, who handled English and European brands, and whose children both boys and girls, rode motorcycles and raced them. Tom and Dave Robinson are still active today, as far as I know, it's been awhile since I ran into them at Daytona.

OK, when I view it at home, pulling up this thread, they are there, so I dunno what's up.

Here is a link to the website where I found them, cut & paste into your browser window to view if you have to.

If you take a look at the two women in the camping pic, some things never go out of style when you ride a v-twin!

Ya gotta wonder what the folks in those pictures would have thought if somehow you could plop a VMax - Gen1 or Gen2, doesn't matter - in front of them.

Then, let them take a ride on one!!!
