I had a couple of tank slapper,s on the old Rd years ago, one on a dead straight road just started wobbling for some reason shitty moments but managed to pull through, and the other one well she was a different story, wobble like hell when bent over the tank being given some from behind merv

Yes a shitty moment when braking although only lasting a part of a second feels like a long time especially while heading for stationary object, When i was training 3 years ago the instructor Alex bollocked me for cadence braking but it sure as hell is a good way of stopping, yuo just put the brake on til it locks mometarily then release it, You get taught it or used to when HGV training, but do not try this if you have ABS as it does it for you, Oh and thining about wet Andyrose will remeber this i reckon When the RD 400,s were introduced with a rear disc ( the first proddie bike with one i beleive) everyone said there is a delay when wet on the brake as it dries out , which was true only one turn of the disc but after the drum model it felt like a long time, but my were they good brakes when they did work merv

George Bush has a heart attack and dies. Obviously, he goes to hell where the devil is waiting for him. "I'm not sure what to do," says the devil. "You're on my list but I have no room for you. As you definitely have to stay here, so I'm going to have to let some-one else go. I've got three folks here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I'll even let you decide who leaves." George thought that sounded pretty good, so he agreed. The devil opened the first room. In it were Richard Nixon and a large pool of hot water. He kept diving in and climbing out, over and over. Such was his fate in hell. "No!" George said. "I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer and don't think I could stay in hot water all day." The devil led him to the next room. In It was Tony Blair with a sledge hammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing the hammer, time after time. "No!" I've got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day" commented George. The devil opened a third door. In it, George saw Bill Clinton lying on the floor with his arms staked over his head and his legs staked in a spread-eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best. George Bush looked at this in disbelief for a while and finally said, "Yeah, I can handle this." The devil smiled and said, "Ok, Monica, you're free to go!" -------------------------------------------------------
