I still remember my first crash I slammed into a parkec car and scratched it real bad. My dad had to pay to have it fixed then I got my tailend lit up. I seemed to get my tial lit up a lot growing up.
My Columbia gave up the ghost after many years of paperboy duties. The frame cracked at the headstock. There was a crippled up light blue English three speed, it only had one gear that worked and you can guess which one that was. It was many years before I got a new bike. I was in the Navy and got a YELLOW Schwinn Contental, I had to have American Iron, which was stolen about 10 years later. Then came the black Schwinn Super Le Tour with chorme ends on the fork. I still own it and love it, put 9 miles on it yesterday. A silver Rockhopper 05 joined the stable in late April.
