Why would putting a front brake on make it longer to stop...?

I would think you could use the back brake as well as the front for full stoppage, and just not apply back pressure

Wow! That Makino is hot! I agree with you, I'm not feelin' the radial...
I like the matte black, but would prefer glossy black with sparkles... like my sparkly teal Makino

i'm kinda shy as it is... it's even harder to recognize people in winter gear... was missing the trumpet player and boom-box guy, but not the cops... they just disappeared one month, but no complaints over here...
^^
so, what's this "morning" thing you speak of?

No camo from Bass Pro, did buy some flannel lined jeans. Not very stylish, but warm as hell. Too bad the only size they had in khakis were 28 and 40+.

Hair of the dog rides always a good idea before hand but time of hard to get out of bed!
To all have a good night.
Us going down to market square where they will have skating, wagon rides, bands, hot dogs, fireworks! All before 9:00 the kids will have fun I hope. Then some 80’s trivial pursuit for us & other adult nonsense.
Cheers
