    Had the front brake lock up on me today. Was on the Old West Coast Road heading up to the Waimak Gorge. Nearly overshot the turnoff, braked hard into the turn. Checked out the sighn post as I went past and found myself heading into the grass verg. Braked again and the front wheel locked up and I went roling into the grass verge. Stayed upright but gave me a fright.

    ...the power of negitive thinking....you got what you expected.
    Still, least you're ok and the bike can be fixed or replaced.
    Experience......something you get just after you needed it

    So how much DID it cost to get your bike back as good as pre-crash?
