So was I, my other mate who I kind of crapped on just laughed at me. Next time he said, you know where to bring it. I said yep...Seems like trouble runs in 3's my front disk was worn out...I suppose that even front rotors do wear out eventually..trouble was i couldn't fix them i had no money left...the mechanic I went to this time said no problem I'll go pick up a new disc and pads and you can pay when ever...Sorry once bitten twice shy...I  didn't ride... well that lasted a whole day and half...I rang my mate...the real mechanic..say i need a floater rotor and a set of pads how much ...I'll check with my dad...he says..His dad is an ex shop owner who deals in HD..He rang back gave me a price and now i have a new disc rotor a floater and a new set of pads...spose I'm good for another, 12 years or so...oh the price....$260 fitted.
