Going waaaaaay back

Another funny picture that I thought I'd share. This was x-mas 1987. This my first road bike. It was a Centurion Accordo RS. This was a great bike until I ran it into the back end of, ironically enough, a parked Honda Accord on the way home from the local ice cream shop one warm, and very dark summer night. Fortunately it was a hatch back, so the angle I face planted at only resulted in a fat lip. The frame of the bike bent just behind the head tube. It never handled quite right after that.





This Picture is good because it answers a couple potential questions:

1. Yes, I have always had a bike fetish (probably the beginning of the car "issues" that still haunt me today).

2. No, I was not an athletically gifted child.
