    It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    Ah yes, the 'oh shit' factor which is a vital component of all good
    maintenance scheduling.

    In this instance, I'll not take offence at that. I have no problem
    with holding up humbug as humbug.

    There you go, then.

    I can foresee problems here - all that constant curling and covering:
    you'll have arthritis in yer digits before you're 50.

    Get some heated grips. And maybe some handle-bar muffs.

    Sorry, but I can't accept that. I'd refer you to darsy's reference to
    'muscle memory', earlier in the thread. I only ever use two fingers
    to brake with. My brakes may not be maintained to the highest
    standards, but they have always been effective when used with two
    fingers ... they may have needed a couple of squeezes from time to
    time in order to wake the pistons from their slumbers, but I can
    always exert enough force with index and second finger to make the
    rear wheel light.
