As far as "accidentally" buying a tandem, you see I went to an estate auction hoping to buy some investment coins, funny you mentioned being drunk cause I do believe there was a few drinks involved in the parking lot. ( I work 6 days a week, so my Saturdays off I gotta make the most of, besides I will use ANY excuse to tailgate) after a few sobering hours of listening to a guy yell alot of jibberish over a loudspeaker, I wrapped up my affairs and was looking over my receipt when the auctioneer and his buddy realized they forgot to sell two bikes, one being the tandem another was a generic mountin bike so I picked both up for $25 (I just wanted parts off the other bike) as I lugged that heavy abomination to my blazer (which was quite a task to stuff into the undersized rear hatch) I notice the schwinn badge and, as embarrassing as it is to admit, got kinda excited. So the accident was standing in the wrong place at the right time ..or vice versa.
