Com'on, I know harleys have them too.

On the Brother Speed website, it's self-described as "a club that is serious about brotherhood, respect, riding fast and building Choppers."

Some chopper guys will take the front brakes off and roll with just a rear drum brake

Ya I know, as was the style with the super long springer front ends and 100+wire spoke wheels.

Hey whatever floats their boat, as long as they float it into something or someone other than me.

1. Where can I find test data on stopping distance? back to top

At the speeds that stopping distance is generally measured from (60 to 70mph), the test is primarily testing the tire's grip on the pavement. As delivered from the manufacturer, nearly all vehicles are able to engage the ABS or lock the wheels at these speeds. Therefore, an increase in braking power will do nothing to stop the vehicle in a shorter distance. For this reason, we do not record stopping distances.

Wow.
