As a bike-crazy kid when I moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1971, I wasted no time finding the best motorcycle shop in town. Mid-South Wheel and Custom was started by a Super Enthusiast as a BSA, Norton, Triumph, Penton, Puch, and Yamaha. Beyond complete bike sales and service, if you wanted a dirt race [...]]]></description>

That&#8217;s right, most manufacturers want to &#8221;make nice&#8221; with the media, for obvious reasons. Piaggio&#8217;s North American president, however, had a different idea.
