Well I will tell you what happened to me today. So I went to school this afternoon to take an exam. I finished and went towards Maryland for a nice ride....so I thought. Got off I95N toward Waldorf, Md. Car was tail gating me so I put some distance between me and him. No biggy, came to a light and I had plenty of time especially since I have EBC HH pads now. Hit the brakes and nothing ::11 What the hell! Went through my head, crap is what I yelled, pucker factor at maxium, Oh God I am going to die! :cry: I was doing about 70mph, I down shifted to 2nd gear as fast as I could and dropped the clutch, bike got a bit swirly but not stopping fast enough. I hit the rear brake as softly as I could as to not to lock it up. But it still locked up, I remember Tufbusa's thread about the rear brake. So I stayed on the brake and it got really swirly back there, bike finially stopped inches away from crossing traffic and sideways.
I pulled the bike off to the shoulder and toke a couple of huge deep breathes. I walk back to my bike to inspect it to see what the heck happened. I noticed something was different. Oh I know my CF fender I just put on yesterday is gone someone stole it at my school is the only place it could have gone missing. I look closer and what happened was since the fender was not on, the brake line was rubbing on the front tire and ate through the brake line. I haven't been this pissed off and scared in my life! I don't even know how I didn't even notice the fender gone. But thankfully I survived what could have been a very ugly event.
