Regarding the brembo's and the accident. I was going about 30mph , light turned yellow , the Porsche 944 just in front of me slammed on the brakes , so did I. The cop who happened to be at the intersection (hence the reason for the panic stop by the porsche) estimated I had about 15ft to stop. Bumper to bumper noon time traffic in Silicon Valley.
It was dead flat, 70 degrees and clear . I had just enough time to say Oh S and not even the ..hit. I had locked both brakes , but the dual fronts were sufficent to completely halt forward progress. Momentum and physics being what they are , I essentially pole vaulted the bike on top of me.
This was a BMW k75s , much lighter than a HOG. under normal use , I found the brakes progressive and efficient. I learned a good lesson that day, Always follow the 2 second rule!
