It has warmed up a little today and is dry so I pulled two bikes out to run some Seafoam through them before they hibernate for the winter. As they were running in the driveway I decided I may as well take them for a ride. This is definitely the last ride of the season. It wasn't the temperature, it was the wind chill

It has been unseasonably warm this week and this might be the last time I get to ride before I put the bikes to bed for the winter so I took the '78 out for some exercise.
When the rear brake locked on the last ride, everything got cooked. The disc warped and the caliper was toast (literally). John Bennett, the Goldwing guru, in Welland fixed me up by rebuilding the master and replacing the rotor and caliper. The last time the master was rebuilt it must not have been cleaned properly for the caliper to lock on again. Today there were no issues with the rear brake (yea)
