Whoops... but still a good read

Damn that's long, but as you say, a good read.

No whoops at all Wayne. I wanted to merge the threads but don't have the rights in either of those forums to do so (hint, hint). Should be a compulsory read in my book.

good read, a must for n00bs!
i agree with all but one statement:

"I'd rather spend a Sunday in the mountains riding at The Pace than a Sunday at the racetrack, it is that enjoyable. Countersteering is the name of the game, a smooth forceful steering input at the handlebar relayed to the tires contact patches through a rigid sport-bike frame. Riding at The Pace is certainly what the bike manufacturers had in mind when sport bikes evolved to the street."

Id MUCH rather thrash around a track all day!!!!!!!
I guess im still "young".

just my 0.02c

Is there a way to quickly disengage the front brakes without having to go through the whole bleeding process??

Take the brake lever off at the handlebar. However, what do you do if you need to stop in a hurry? As someone else said though why not just don't pull on the lever?
