My first bike was a '55 FLH. Rear suspension? To be clear the gamma nail had nothing to do with a bike. Ice was the culprit. I wear microspikes or YakTrax on the trails around here but I was 'just' walking a couple of blocks to get something for lunch at the grocery store. I'd navigated a couple of patches of ice but cut back to the sidewalk too soon. Being of a certain age the 'do you fall a lot?' questions were inevitable.
