welcome mike,
You're not alone! when I started college my Mongoose FS-1 got considerably less usage. My mom gave it away to her co-workers son while I was out of town. I didnt even know until the next spring when I tried to go for a ride on the old trails in my hometown.
Plenty of great bikes out there just waiting for you. your haro has moved on.
