   i've driven some very fast cars with toy brakes and as long as you don't get   
   in a panic stop, they're ok. sure, discs are way better, but the driver makes   
   the difference.   
   on motorcycles, front discs are good for stoppies and horror shows, lousy for   
   real emergrncy's. a double leading shoe 8" will work better.
