First ride out this year and forgot just how bad the brakes are on my 550/4!!!! Must have aged at least 10 years in the first mile or so!! They seemed a bit better after about 3-4 miles whether they bedded in or took the surface rust off the disc and drum I`m not sure or I got used too them again. Still, I enjoyed a 56 mile jaunt around the lanes and came back with a big grin on my mush (and frozen stiff). Now I know why I prefer these old bikes after a blast, who needs a new bike!!!!
