That was a real adventure bike...every ride was an adventure!

I believe it was motorcycling's first anti-lock brake...mine wouldn't lock the front wheel except when the mechanism jammed in the 'on' position...then it would eventually generate enough heat to lock the front wheel solid.

Ironically the 'economy' model CD175 had a drum front brake that actually worked.
