my plan is to replace the pads when i replace the tires
Holy crap guys, what are you doing to your brakes. I have 35000kms (22000 miles) on my bike with the original pads and they still look good. Maybe it's because I have ABS.
I wish I could do that here in D Beach. Every driver goes 0-60 in one block. Cuts in front and slams on the brakes. I had a Lexus behind me in a line of traffic. Passed on the right, squeezed in front and stopped immediately for the red light. Wtf was the point. Just that days ahole. Daytona 500 wanabee or he's on a bike, he won't hit me.I enjoy trying to ride without brakes...ie using engine braking only. It forces me to ride better as I have to be very present. It's very satisfying when you manage to do it for any length of time.
