No front brake extra points on style and flippant attitude statement.

'Because I can' is never a good reason for doing anything. The way historic racing destroys good old bikes, is bad enough.

I said what I mean and mean what I wrote, I quit public forums that risks pissing contests with Rohand and his several supporting groupies apparently too timid to chime in on this thread. hobot moved on, lurks to stay current. Peel Peeks in Pub w/o Rohand distractions.

Hobot's heart is in the right place and so is Rohan's. I respect the opinions of Dances with Shrapnel, Fast Eddie and Doug Macrae - always interesting.
