wild foamy Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 yeh, came off it on a diesel spill in a car park when still on the front brake a bit hard, put a crack through my left mirror which i spent £10 for the pair and had them on there two days... other than that its a tip-top bike for its age, does me fine but i really wish it had some plastic on it, gets terribly cold especially at night. will probably get some hand muffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wild foamy Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 hmm, these drum brakes are surprisingly sharp and sensative, last time i tried putting the brake on/off repeatedly the bike started bouncing like a newlyweds mattress (very soft shocks, can run over a kerb and not feel it and get airbourne over speedbumps) my chosen technique is slow down early, make sure i am prepared of the corner and put my feet down if i feel the need, then take it as slow as i think nescessary regardless of what the tosser in the car behind thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
