PSA: Please, please, PLEASE service your brakes regularly! The previous owners of my SV did not do that. Ever, it seems. Sheesh, what a mission it's been cleaning up these calipers! I had to cut through the stuck slide pin and knock the halves out with a pencil chisel. And the calipers were caked thick with crud. They're lovely and shiny now, but it took about four hours!

So go outside right now and give your brakes some love.
