I ate it on this bike going full speed. Best battle scars I've ever had because it's taught me not to ride so recklessly. I'm planning to work at a hospital that is 14 miles away from my house and I've made the journey only twice but I love this bike. It's not actually mine though...it's a demo and I take it from my dad's store to go places. I claim it as mine...it has it's battle scars of it's own from our journey together. Ha!
