Usually young kids on Huffy's are the one's making these comments.
It was given to me...after I won it in a poker game.
I didn't like it for much the same reason why I prefer a higher profile vehicle...I can see better being higher off the ground. That was the biggest reason...and the fact that at the time I was in the Marine Corps and wasn't allowed to grow a beard or an aero belly.
After a few weeks of punishing the owner by riding his former bent to work every day, I purposely bluffed on a King-high nothing so he could win it back. The dummy folded and another guy won it. If I remember right, just about everyone in the unit ended up owning that bike for a spell until it finally found it's way home.
Most folks in BF know that I (and a lot of other wedgie riders) are just yanking their chains when it comes to hammocks...but apparently some don't.
