My ex-father-in-law introduced me to my dislike for bikes (and him also)...
Stopped by his MG Restoratilon Garage one day for a tuneup on my TC...he had a large bike by the door that looked pretty hot...which he insisted that I take for a spin, which I did...
Approaching the end of the alley at a T-Intersection with a busy street, I applied ther brakes...nothing...zippo
So I put the bike sideways into a chain-link fence and got off, left the bike in a pile and walked back to his shop...
Told him that it had no brakes which he acknowledged with a big laugh...
I swiftly explained the benefits of him using it as a suppositoty as he lay prostrate on the ground...
I looked similar as you (and so did he)...
