This was my dad's bike that I went out joyriding on the streets of San Jose when I was 13 with a buddy on the back and was spotted by a cop when I was one block from home. Cop gave chase. I panicked and TOOK OFF! Five cop cars and five miles later, I thought I could lose them in an elementary school, but I hit a lamp post at 55 and wrapped the handlebars around it and went head first into the pole (no helmet). Both legs hit the handlebars and I slumped to the ground. Subsequently had a near-death experience - floated above the gathering crowd for awhile. Ultimately, a miraculous recovery - no broken bones, no permanent damdamdamdamdamage. ;-) Wasn't the first or last of my career as a juvenile delinquent. :/
