-To: This (linked) picture shows what you are looking for.+====== Link to Sportsterpedia Menu Topics ====== 
 +Some of the pages have so much information that starting from the top and reading to the bottom gets cumbersome\\ 
 +That's where the page menu comes in handy. \\
  
-Or: Here’s ​link to a ‘how to’.+Most pages in the Sportsterpedia have navigational menu on the top right of each page. \\ 
 +This menu can be used to quickly find sections within ​page and bypass information you don't need at the moment. \\ 
 +Each section in the different page menus have their own URL\\
  
 +Use the page menu to select a section / heading within it. \\
 +This allows you to link directly to the heading / section of pertinent information. \\
 +And the recipient of the link doesn'​t have to read thru many headings to find where you originally sent them.
  
-----+  ​Click on a section in the menu and it's address will be in your browser'​s search box.
