At least with bicycles it's mostly just the crazy person that suffers the outcome of their crazy stuff.
our forum's Larry is mildly amusing, compared to the guy i mentioned.
i once saw his "wheel stash"... under a semi trailer, and every last axle, cone, and ball bearing had been removed.
when i asked why, he said "because they're worth money, of course!".. i then asked if he still had them... he said yes, but wasn't really sure WHERE they were....
Drugs are a bad way to ruin a life.
he was hospitalized with a "headache", it was a brain bleed... Andrew never really woke up again...
he rode like the wind, and i'd seen him bunny hop a 16" fir log like it was nothing.
in his mid 30s...
local bike thefts dropped to nearly nothing after he went.
rumor has it that there's a big pile of bikes out in the woods... somewhere.
