I have been riding over 30 years and almost dropped my SM bringing it home so don't feel bad. I was used to the old drum breaks on the 60s Triumphs and always had to plan a block or so ahead when I wanted to stop. Well bringing the SM home I grabbed the front break a little too hard and locked the front wheel up for a sec, and almost lost it.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
Eat right ,Exercise ,Stay fit, Die Anyway!
