[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 100680, member: 161"] I looked closely at these a few years ago when the new Brough Superior appeared at the motorcycle show and researched on the internet to see how they worked. I can see that it is a way to increase the braking area without increasing the diameter but other than that I saw it as an unnecessary complication and a bit of a gimmick. There are lots of incredibly good brakes available without the extra complication used here. [B]Note[/B]: The speed limit on single carriageways in the UK is 60 mph unless otherwise posted not 50 mph as posted above. I'm not much of one for originality. A Norvin is a special and what made specials special was the diverse components that they were made up of. The more diverse the more special they were. [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
