Default Home Sweet Home

Well, After my eleven Day Adventure...Im finally Home...It was one Hell of a Week and a Half...And Just as I rolled the Bike off the Trailer to Ride it home from my buddys house...My front brakes decided it was time to Call it quits.

But Im home safely...and The Bike did an Outstanding Job...I wish I was still riding with all of you crazy Fucks. But it was Awesome meeting everyone...and when I get some free time Ill work on getting my Photos on here.

Ride Safe, and I hope to see you guys sometime in the future.

Nothing Leaked...I dunno what it is, I bleed the front brakes and still got nothing...Its weird, It goes dead when I pull it in but then I'll pump it a few times and I get full pressure back in my Lever...then Roll without the brakes and the lever goes dead again...And it keeps doing that over and over.

Its the Original Set and it has close to 8K Miles on it...and I Ran that thing HARD this trip...I was feeling some shake in my lever when I got to OBX...Its def time for some new equipment.

Glad you made it home safe Scott! It was great riding with you too man

Check the lines and fittings on your brakes, sound like you're getting air in from somewhere.

Probably a good thing you didn't ride it home! Glad you and the bike made it back in one piece.

You'll be at the NE rally in October right Scott?
