Now that I'm older, I'm still just as foolish. I still do things like put my gloves on while riding. When will I learn?
While riding my '82 Guerciotti (Columbus SL), I kicked up a 3/4" lock washer that was in the street. It hit the underside of my downtube and put a nice dent in it. You couldn't see it unless you looked under the tube. But, I knew it was there and it pissed me off.
