    Haven't you noticed that the only bikes you're being offered are the
    ones with _no_ _fucking_ _brakes_?

    inboard discs was all about, I found them ok.

    accepted any of the offers.

  12. She doesn't care, she knows _I_ love her.

    And nobody will get her arse in the air by applying the front brake.
    The front tyre breaks traction first.

    Trying that sort of thing on my FZR would end in the pillion seat
    hitting you in the back of the head. :)

  14. There was enough force from the cable front disc on my CB200 to.....

    er.....

    ....to make the forks dip. A bit.

    her.

  19. What brought it home to me when first I tried it out on my current FJ12
    ABS, was when the ABS kicks in.

    I was oblivious of the back end just locking and or lifting with the
    front brake first or the benefit of back before front until I could feel
    the ABS coming in.

    Back before front did seem to have a beneficial effect though I was not
    aware of it through the seat of my pants.
