For the record, I was incredibly lucky to get a Diamond Back Pacer 500, and treated that bike like it was a $200k Ferrari. It was my most prized possession ever, and will never forget the day my dad bought it for me as a surprise. I get choked up every time I think of the circumstances.
This was the beast I rode.
