	                                                 | HOW I EARNED "HORIZONTAL" -- Hit a deer at 50mph at 6am on
      way to school / work.  Yes, I still ride.  My 5 ribs healed faster than
      the bike could be rebuilt.  I'm not talkin' about those other three
      times the rubber hit the sky.  That's my story and I'm stickin' to
      it!
