[Desmondo]

Never used the back brake on ay of my bikes so. I did try and use it just for a laugh, rolling down the path at Cadwell to get on to the starting grid and it did bugger all

You mean there's a rear brake! Where?

[Clippy]

The clutch fluid goes black because of the pipe it runs through - it always happened on both my Milles and it's never a problem.

As for back brakes, and these are bound to be famous last words, both my old 748 and current 996 have never had a problem...

Everything else has failed or fallen off, but the back brake still works even though I only use it once in a blue moon!:P

Might as well step on a piece of wood for all the good the rear brake does!!!!!!!!!!
