Riding minus one brake pad?

Relax, he is in Aussie

Any chance we can make sure he stays there?

Fairly good odds if he keeps riding with a spanner instead of front brakes I am picking. Ixions gene-o-clean very much in action here

I just bought a bike here in Sydney - A GPX750R. Trouble is is that one of the front brake pads dropped out the first day. I can't get it fixed until next Monday. My question is - can I still ride it in the time being (about 20km a day, too and from work) or will this ruin the disk and/or caliper pistons? I am not using the front brake when I ride until I get it fixed.

Yes you can.

Use your feet to stop in an emergency.

I love to help out - in this case I'm helping the human gene pool.

If you don't use the front brake you're a fucking idiot... It's THE brake. Rear brake is not even a brake, more like a tool for correcting wheelies and tightening a line into fast corners.
