So Im waiting at a light on the corner of 190th and Hawthorne Blvd today and this dude rolls up next to me on a totally rashed up R1. When he stopped I gave him the wassup nod and l went back about my business. First off he leans over to give me the pound pound which I thought was kind of odd but I reached over and gave him him the pound back so as not top be a dick. Then the first thing he says to me is, "do you stunt?" I was like, "nah dude, I havent been riding that long." Oh yeah this guy had nothing but a helmet and a sweat shirt over jeans on BTW. At that point I really didnt want to keep conversing with the guy but it seemed like the light was taking forever! Ok heres where it gets funny, as he was sitting there checking out my bike he asks me, "06?" I didnt even have time to respond before I noticed something a little odd about his bike. THE FRONT BRAKE LEVER WAS COMPLETLEY SNAPPED OFF AT THE BASE OF THE CLIP ON! Before I could even say anything the light turned green and he zoomed off, leaving me sitting there thinking to myself, WTF! I assume he uses the rear brake for all his stopping duties but dayum, how clueless do you have to be to ride W/O a front brake lever and think its all good?

Don't tell me you've been riding w/a functional front brake lever all this time?! Damn noob

 

I know. Only squids use the front brake anyways.

</TD></TR></TABLE> Did you look for another lever?

I rode with a guy around here that runs two levers on his F4. I don't know how he works it or if it is even if its for his rear but he knows his **** so I am pretty forsure its legit. Here's a picture of him...

For some reason I highly doubt he was running any kind of trick setup. I mean, he left the broken nub of the lever on there and everything. :shrugs:

Good Call.

 

Homie in the pic IS busting some ridiculous though

 

I broke my front brake lever off last summer, and had to leave the bike in the garage for a month. I had to ride it home on the rear brake only and did not feel safe at all. It's so easy to lock up the rear.

Well I'm old for this site (30, I bet the average user is 20), and don't understand some of the lingo floating around nowadays.

 

make a fist with your right hand....got it?
make a fist with your left hand (to symbolize the 'other guys' hand)...got it?

in the coolest fashion possible, *pound* the top of your right hand against the bottom of your left hand, then *pound* the bottom of your right hand against the top of your left hand. (reciprocating movements).
After that task has been accomplished, simply *pound* each set of knuckles together if you really want to look cool.

damn old geezers

the 2 levers he is running are usually on the left hand side... one is for rear brake and the other is clutch... never 2 brakes on one side
