Stormin' Norman Robinson
Norm cut his teeth "literally" on motorcycles. Back in the day Lil' Normie was one of 10 children with the family's motorcycle shop attached to their house. Rumor has it that Mom Robinson was always there with a smile and a hot cup of coffee for you. So you can see that he learned to ride a motorcycle at a very young age.
