Haha - my 1st bike in 1973 was a new Bonnie with twin leading shoes in a conical hub - weird. Very soon superceded by disk brakes and reliable stopping power. I have had motorbikes all my adult (childish) life as they are a therapy that cars just do not provide. Current bike is a Suzuki GSXR1000 and is a wonderful thing, as are all the modern bikes. I will be in touch when I begin the brake upgrade, thanks.
