    Default Try this out.....

    Yesterday with my bro on pillion, we'er doing a fair clip though town and a blew a brake line. Not just any line, it was intergrated into the ABS thus my rear brake failed as well at speed ops:
    We slowed down just before colliding with a car though at a set of lights, because i was not sure why i had no pressure. Only then, i looked at the ground and noticed all of the brake fluid down the side of the bike :shock:

    $#*t and I thought loosing brakes while coming up to a light that just turned red in my old integra was scary. Couldn't imagine what was going through your mind.
