The Holidays are here and for me it is a time to remember times spent with family and those special gifts that we got to enjoy next to our good friends back in the day. Especially those gifts we remember best because they impacted our lives in some special way. The Ross Apollo 5 Speed was one of those for me. Dressed in black with it's long banana seat and a cool speed shifter that could have been at home in any muscle car of the 60's, this bike meant business. More important than that, this cool-looking "muscle bike" was my first ticket to freedom and independence. First with short trips around the block. Then enjoying rides with friends around my community and later on as my vehicle of choice for long rides away from Home. It became a central part of everything we did until we moved on to cars. Good times...
