I have to admit a friend of mine that I hung out with as 10-12 year old says to me one day …. Chris let’s go to the woods as he (Ray) had something to show me.
Buried under a bush was a Sting-Ray he stole.
Needless to say I was shocked as I owned a Violet Sting-Ray at the time and I’m sure I felt sorry for the kid that just lost his.

If these bikes could only talk just like our cars …. their stories would be priceless.
