That's because most of the time you were riding the old "Man Magnet"...

That's true about the picking up, it was disappointing for both of us. You still win with those three beautifully groomed young men at the bar. Oddly, they were uninterested in my feminine wiles.

try bleeding your lines with the handle bars turned to the left all the way on the side stand.This way the brake line entry point is the same or lower than the valve in the master cylinder hence allows the air bubbles to travel up,not down.Leave in this position with the lever tightly clamped to the handle bar overnight allowing the bubbles to find the top of the master cylinder.Makes for a very firm lever.Metal pads also overheat the fluid.superdot 4 or 5.1.different pad and rotor material all make a difference to brake feel and power,even different stainless with higher carbon content.Ride grahams bike if you want to sample different to stock.The whole system is found lacking when pushing hard,thats why i,ve gradually changed mine,realising no one thing makes all the difference.A good master cylinder is a joy to use i know that much.

I did. All day on his wedding day and the day before. It felt exactly the same as mine. My brakes feel great on the street. I guess it would be a different story riding his bike on a track day. Now I just have to convince Graham to lend me his bike for a track day...

BGW had a special on their Galfer stock, today only. I got a pair of Wave Discs for $630.
