I just tried to look at it if I were in your shoes. And like my father, I'm sure your father spent more than a few bucks on your screw-ups from back in the day. It all comes out in the wash.
Ah, no worries; it was the kind of sting I needed. I'd felt strange about the whole incident, but I couldn't put my finger on why. The money and the helmet really don't matter, and you helped me figure it out.

I'm hoping sitting on my bike finally gives him incentive to get one of his own; he's had this idea for years that being a skinny Italian, he wouldn't be able to handle a cruiser. He seems to think he'd never be able to pick it up if he dropped it (false) or would look ridiculous on it (also false), but the itch has always been there. If he gets a bike I have another person to ride with, and more to talk about.
