I aren't suprised that you go through brakes like you do you drive like no-one else does at warp speed everywhere so you must always be on the brakes

I well remember someone who was daft as a brush in my group of biking mates when I was a yoof being advised to do that (as a joke) to stop brake squeal from the front disc on his cb125.
Next day he ploughed straight into the back of a car.I did feel bad (for about 5 minutes.

No new fluid?

i've gone through 1 set of front discs and two sets of front pads in about 70k!

Anticipation is the key amount of idiots on the motorway I saw braking going up hill!  Just ease of earlier morons...

Some people just dab the brakes every few minutes, I could often do the 75 mile blast only using brakes at junctions...
