I'm not even going to tell the story of how, as a college lad of 18, riding my 1973 gleaming black Alex Singer, I managed to go right thru a LARGE and VERY fragrant cow pie on a hot Ohio summer day. It must have taken a week with a stick and a spoon to get that bike clean again. Those Clement Setas were never the same after that. Gives a whole new meaning to the concept of "repack".
Bleah!

Mark,
So far I like your story best. Makes you feel like you should be wearing a raincoat every time you ride. Were there any maggots in the mixture, or no?
