It is indeed a Luchier front brake, the owner reported it was very strong and progressive. Very similar to this: http://www.360brake.com/ Check the beautiful bike it was on:
Unfortunately, he was cut off by a kid on a 1198 Duck who missed a turn and this was the outcome:
He has started collecting parts to rebuild it, unfortunately, the front brake is a total loss.

In a case like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNO88yqC ... re=related what kind of brakes could stop you in time? In his case, it was probably something like that except it was a guy in the other lane who missed his turn. If you have ever been at Deal's Gap or one of the many roads in the California mountains where many try to take curves as fast as they dare, sometimes they miss and crash all by their lonesome selves, but sometimes, they cross the path of an oncoming vehicule, if you are unlucky enough, this is what happens and the best brakes in the world won't help :cry:

I couldn't find the one you mention, but the drag bike on the left looks like it has one on the back wheel, fairly standard spoke pattern. The only drawback I can see from these brakes is mainly the width required. The Norton front fork has a bit more than 7 inches and this brake takes a bit over 2½" per side plus it has to be in the air stream for cooling. While it is cool, a big drum like a Grimeca does it for me :wink:

Squids have taken over the role of "stereotypical biker idiots" from the old version of leather-clad bad guys.
They now account for most of what is wrong with the motorcycling population in thew USA (and many other countries).
Most are inexperienced idiots that are in WAY over thier heads, except perhaps in a straight line at posted speed limits (even then, they are typically talking on thier bluetooth cell phones or listening to i-tunes, unaware and totally inconsiderate of the world around them)
