Look What Dave McNeill is riding.
Flash, bling, chrome, silver, more chrome. Maybe Lori could add a rhinestone or two.

Braking News...
Submitted by Rick Huggins.
Since the advent of front and rear brakes, a debate has raged as to which brake should be applied first in a quick-stop situation. From a physical perpective, as brakes are applied, weight is transferred to the front wheel, reducing weight on the rear. With enough front brake, a "sticky" tire, a coarse roadway surface, and a short wheelbase, it is possible to lift the rear wheel off the ground, rendering the rear brakes useless.
If the object is to stop as quickly as possible, both brakes should be applied at the same time. Squeeze the front brake lever as you would for a normal stop, then continue to quickly squeeze the lever to the point just short of lockup. You can be a little more aggressive initially with the rear brake, but as weight is transferred to the front, smoothly reduce brake pedal pressure to prevent locking the rear wheel. By the way, a big, heavy cruiser with sticky tires can be stopped in a shorter distance than the latest, greatest sportbike, but only if you use the proper technique!
