The gods of good fortune were smiling on me this morning. My shitbox Volkswagen ute had thrown a front CV so I'm riding the bike the 25ks to work along country roads until its fixed.
This morning at 5:30am I'm cruzing in at about 160klm when skippy and his mates hop out in front of me. They are western greys and nearly as tall as me. I slammed on the brakes and of course in a panic locked the front for a split second, eased it off - back on em and actually did my first ever stoppie at over 100klm - stopped only a couple of mtrs from the silly bastards. You could almost hear them laughing as they stared at me for a second then casually hopped away.
I have no doubt that I would either have hit the hairy jumpers or dropped the bike with the previous stock discs. The feel with the Braketec's IS that much better. Bruce
N2O no laughing matter
