I went out to the garage the other day, I saw a 2x6 deck board in the middle of the garage- I thought our daughter and her boyfriend had been out looking for something and left it out.

I hopped on my Voyageur SP and went to the bike store, came home, leaned the bike on the fence to open the garage... and I saw it.

I noticed the other day the garage door seemed kind of "jerky" lately; I realized the 2x6 had been in the rafters of the garage. A 5 foot long deck board fell from the garage rafters and hit my pretty much pristine 30 year old bike on the top tube- horribly denting it.

I was actually physically sick feeling.

Seeing this thread only reminds me of how awful this is.

I'm going to go barf again.
