So what your saying the brakes failed? It could not have been the rider right? Humm sounds fishy to me. Maybe if you Harley guys were not trying to rev your pipes and slipping your clutch all the time maybe he would have saw you and hit the brakes.I gonna go with not paying attention!!!! Over brake failure.
aside from the fact that his bike was in 3rd gear when we picked it up and his front brake has 0 pressure when grabbing the lever, not to mention nearing 10 years of riding under our belts, but you're right lets go ahead and make assumptions instead of reviewing any of the facts at hand. although i do appreciate all the flaming, i assumed as much when coming in here to update people =^_^=
besides, who is there to rev for on an empty street on a sunday night going home to watch tv? if we were at a bar playing the penis game trying to pick up chicks then i'd tend to agree but it seems you're on the wrong page.
