Answer me this...

Give it a hard squeeze and you will undoubtedly leave skidmarks.

NOT to much of a squeeze tho... that can cause hemroids

During the brake test the tester wanted me to ride at 5kph and lock up the back brake to cause a skid. I couldn't do it, I could come to a full stop but not skid. He wanted to see a skid (of course I laughed!)

Am I retarded, can this be done cause I really don't think it can. I have the day off work today and am tempted to try up and down our driveway.

Ya know... the thing is as soon as a wheel locks up you loose braking abailty, not good not safe shouldnt be a wof requirment.
But alas they want to see it done... WOF's on bikes are a crock a shit, I use VTNZ quick skid spin the frount wheel and wiggle the rear... all done.
No checking for loose bolts worn bearings etc, tiz why I do random pre flight checks my self.

Biggest worry is when they want to do a skid... got a wof the other day on the Guzzi was still paying when I heard it fire up, heres this old boy reliving 50yrs ago on a 1/4 ton Brembo braked one of bike same on the Buell I shit myself when they get on light weight able to wheelie at idle and MASSIVE brakes all on slipery concrete... na WOF's are a crock a shit.

@ 5kph with 3-4 metres run up?

Yeah no worries.

This isn't the first time i've heard of this thing happening!

Not so keen on doing it with the front end tho!

take the bike to a bike shop where a bike type person who understands bikes gives your bike a WOF. I took my bike to VTNZ once, never again.

Would have thought they would have applied the same logic to the front brake to show its working properly "Right chap, now turn her around and lock the front up but don't exceed 5kph!"
