Wooooaaahhhh....where's the brakes?

[robstvr]

Washed the bike yesterday with S-100cot, or something. anyway, it's a gel cleaner you spray on, then wash off. Problem is I got some on the discs, and now it's on the pads. OK, so i've lost the D675 brake squeek, but about 25% stopping power, too. I can clean the discs with no issue, but do i need to change the OEM pads? Will it wear off, or has it been absorbed, and i'm stuffed?

Should i just replace them for peace of mind, or can they be remedied?

Oh, and if i do replace them, what should i go for?

Cheers.


PS, met a sexy bike lady at Boxhill yesterday! I'm in a bit of smit.

I'd give cleaning the pads with brake cleaner a go first, just to see what's what.

Stuff the brakes.....who's the bird? And what kinda smit we talking here??!!

Yeah, I'm gonna fit EBC sintered.

Talking of fit, she is. She had a 125 years ago, and just decided to go for it before October and do her test - she passed last week, and was out getting miles under the belt. We got chatting over a cup of tea, then i took her out for an...ahem...ride. Get this, she:

1. Went out and bought herself an 07 CBR600RR as a first bike
2. Works as a barmaid in the evenings
3. Paraglides
4. Has a twin sister
5. Didn't get into bikes through a guy - all her own work.
6. Has nice boobs.

This could be as good as the time that chick knocked me off my Hornet, got me drunk and fiddled with me a bit.

Bikes: Cools as.

Fit, twin sister? Talk about getting all six numbers in. Next you'll be telling me you got her number and have arranged a nice "ride" out somewhere?

I'd be surprised if you couldn't burn it off with some repeated braking from high speed but if that doesn't shift it then new pads are the way to go. I only ever use OE on the blade after trying some others that I didn't get on with (can't remember the name but some the local dealer had in).

If she's as hot as you say she is...
SHOTGUN the twin sister
I can then show off my brand spankers 08 GSXR

[robstvr]

Indeed i have. In fact, we're going for a ride mid-week, and she's up for a Saturday jaunt, too.

In, very much, like Flynn.

[robstvr]

Good Weather, Silverstone on 25th, with usual suspects.

[lawrence567]

Post a pic....

[lawrence567]

Hahaha,
Yeah the photo does work!
You dont mess about do you? Only just met the girl & got photos of her already good lad!

[robstvr]

No pissing about. Actually, it's from her facebook page. Anyhoo, it'll be coming down again soon, just in case... No point having a biker lady, if you've got no pills!

[dern]

Given that you only met her two days ago, isn't she going to think you're a bit of a freak when she finds this thread?

[lawrence567]

Lol you have a point there, he could be losing his testicles a lot quicker than expected...
I cant wait until he gets the naked ones!
LOL!

[robstvr]

Well, Dern, it's coming down, so no probs... i think?

[robstvr]

She's not on here, so i live for another way.

The rather lovely girl sitting next to me in the office thinks that I'm a 'Dirty little deviant'. Sh'es very astute.

Lol, it's your thread mate. If I'd met a lady and then found she was talking about me on the internet I pretty much assume she was as mental as a fish in the sun but then "things might be different these days"
