Default Re: Maintenance before Dragon... fresh brakes before or after?

Oi change is a go, based on everyone's advice.

My wallet says "wait" but the "safety-first" within me wants to heed the advice of Max (regarding brakes). I don't plan on running the dragon too extreme. Kim will be riding, and the crazier I drive, the greener her face gets. I want her to return to another GTG in the future, not scare her to the point of her insisting to get a Taxi ride back home.

Even if I 'gently' brake, 318 turns (each way) is a lot. And I can't guarantee that I won't run the dragon by myself while Kim gets some R&R with the other ladies at the lodge.

So, it looks like I'm going to do my best to play it safe. It'll make things tight for a week or so, but that's just how it works. Hopefully the fender strake project gets delayed again LOL
So I take it you're coming to my house this weekend to do the brakes?
