Shock becomes shocking

Shock becomes shocking
So on my ride over the Manhattan bridge I get a sensation that feels almost like a flat tire.
I could feel all the tiny irregularities of the road like I was on the rim. (this is a bad place for this to happen).
I had my wife on the back so I ease off the gas $ go slow til I am in Manhattan. I look but the tire is fine. Turn out the shock lost all damping(at least that is my diagnosis).
It was an old penske shock I got on ebay & unwisely didnt have rebuilt before installing. Now I guess I am back to the stocker til the next race wknd when I can have it rebuilt.

Wow wudya?
Anyway havent yanked it yet but somewhere on here someone had a story of the penske collapsing to leave him with a low rider. I was concerned about this so called off the whole night out to limp it back to Brooklyn.
