It is the CSPC that has it wrong, in their attempt to keep morons that shouldn't be near a mechanical object of any kind from endo'ing, IMO.

Kurt,

Does a VLW rider even need to use brakes where the land is so flat? Well, I guess when out riding with hurricane force winds to you back, a little stopping power might be nice. Oh, that's right, I forgot about the occasional bridge or overpass harrowing descent. One needs all the stopping power they can find on such a thriller.

BTW, I hit 47.4 mph last evening on the '66 Paramount. Fortunately Ms. PB was no where in sight and no cars pulled out from driveways.

Hey, did that Weinmann rear quick release rear cable stop I sent you not work? And I was glad to see that you moved the neighbors trash bin for subsequent pictures. Can we nickname your bike "Shiney?" Lookin sweet!
