Could Use Some Happy Thoughts

[Nachodaddy]

This story isn't necessarily in the category of "Happy Thoughts," but it may help and it is about bicycles. A friend some time ago told about being in Italy courtesy of the US Air Force and going to the place that made the bike of his dreams. They took careful measurements and built his bike, crated it and sent it to Ohio where he had it delivered to a bike shop where it was assembled. 
He was so excited to finally have the bike of his dreams as he carefully strapped it to the roof-top carrier on his car and drove home. Arriving at home, he used the remote garage-door opener as he drove in the drive-way and drove into the garage, destroying the bicycle strapped to the top of the car. The story does have a happy ending. He realized the company still had all the measurements to build his bike, so he ordered another and was more careful getting it home. I am glad to see your Italian bicycles still looking clean and beautiful.
