here's a quickie:
I used to know a guy here in La, he was from Ny. He broke vert. in his back in a motorcycle
He used to race bicycles and do an occasional track event--- well-- doctors told him after several surgeries just to get him to stand-- that he would never ride anything again--- well,
He got angry one day ( ex-messenger) and took his custom colnago track-- got on the damn thing with a full face moto hat and decided to ride---the last time I saw him he was riding his track bike-- no brakes--
even though he couldnt walk straight-- he rode the sht out of his Colnago-- he showed me a license for his official use of it as a "cain" so he could bring it into rest. and offices.... the last time I saw him was about a year ago and if your out there--- YO!
