I'm sure I've already said but welldone.

(unrelated question)
What're the brakes like on it? I've never had a drum front brake.

A little ironic eh? I feel a bit bad seeing as the only reason we were parked on a hill is because I'd stalled coming out of a junction...Pain in the **** kickstarts, have to stop to restart the engine each time! Not experienced enough to bump it while sat on it lol. Heyho.

fooking terrible. New shoes ordered and if that doesn't sort it, it will be getting swapped for something with a disc on it

Fingers crossed... but I fear you might end up doing the latter, I've fitted shoes before (and cleaned the drum, anti glazed it a bit etc. done the cable) and after testing it it still felt nothing like a disk brake.

If they're anything like a Honda Cub, they won't get better! Stopping distance on my chicken chaser at 30 is about the same as my SV at 60.

Been out tonight for a short bimble and loved it. YC riding in front the whole time but I did lots of practice changing down gears to slow down, also went through a fair number of traffic lights and they went ok. That and I have a shiny 05 Yammy YBR waiting to be ridden soon to compensate for my CG's rubbish brakes (even though I could probably stick and cope witht he CG but hey I'm not complaining

). Eeeee so giddy, LOVE RIDING!
