Dan's Bike: Dead

| | Comments (0)

Ok. Ok. So it's a little more complicated than I thought.

I had it. Man, I had it. I had the front wheel turning almost correctly, I had the back wheel working. I even had the gears turning. I took it for a test ride. It rode well, just needed some minor adjustments.

I made the adjustments, then hit the road again. Before I could get out of my driveway, however, I heard a CLANG!

The back deraileur broke off the frame.

I have no explosives to use on the bike. I am also out of bazooka shells. I thought about driving over it in the Jeep, but knowing my current luck I'll probably get a flat tire. So I covered it back up with a tarp and took my tools inside.

Later tonight, I am thinking about having a memorial service. Gad fracking gummity-slumping moon-fritzin ice slurper! (I could give this to you in the native vernacular, but I'm running clean blog here, folks) I feel like Darren McGavin in the movie "Christmas Story" after his wife broke his lamp. I know for a fact Melissa is responsible for this as well, just need to figure out how to blame it, er find the responsible party.

If you've read this far, you should follow me on twitter here.
