Brakes for sale !!!!
Ok , om so freakin tired of cleaning **** from my brakes off the wheels!! , and I want to get the **** rid of them ..!!! lololol
I go for a lousy 1 hr run and me wheels look like I have run a bloody marathon !!!
Looking for pros and cons of loosing the bloody brakes all together !! ..??
I did briefly mention this problem to Dylan on Skype , but he had no answers really, that went anywhere towards to solving my delmar !! lolol ......... "hi Dylan"
lol
The question is mainly , how important is stopping really ??? om mean , ok , the red and blue lights seem to follow me every friggin where !!! and om not really inclined to stop any ways , so hey , why have the bloody dirty **** on the bike at all !!!!!
Or , ok , you are asking yourself why the **** would I post this up ..... well GTFOI !! ...lolol , om bored and tired of cleaning my **** wheels and om sure a few of you bastards here will have a solution that does that not require me to go selling the **** things off !! ..lolol
I thought of making a long probe wire , that hangs off the swing arm with a cloth on the end of itthat cleans the crap off as it is created while I crush the brake lever through to eternity! while braking at my usually cool calm mannered rate when stopping for the odd old aged bugger in my friggin way at the pedestrian crossings !!!! ... (the stupid **** that think om actually going to stop that is 
)
I mean , whats wrong with just engine braking? to try to avoid running over the odd pedestrian ? , considering that , hey , everyone else including the **** , cars can go take a hike !!! , they will bloody stop or I will plant myself as an ornament in to there **** car is my theory ....lololol..
and that works BTW !! ....most creeps in cars see my old girl hurtling at them , they **** stop !!! lololol
Ok any bright " Saloon style " ideas guys ??? and I hope that it is duley noted! , that I refrained from including anything to do with the CBRF Speed of light theory ...lol

Yer , I do use a spray on wax on the bastards and yer , it does make it a bit easier to get the crap off , ... and I have tried hard as nails pads before 
, but all the pedestrians all tended to themselves when I went flying through unable to stop !!! ..lolol
all the same , thanks for the reply though mate ....

Crazy CBR Salvage Guy. RIP

That's safe ground Steve, just don't mention the "R" word.
Incidentally have you ever heard of my very good friend Brian Tamaki?
But I digress; I think your original suggestion was along the right lines, sell them, they'll only ever slow you down.
I'm pretty sure that as part of building a dodgy Z1 turbo back in the day you got rid of all unnecessary weight that could potentially slow you down.
Man, those calipers and **** must weigh a heap, get rid of them.

I agree 100% the white rims are an f'ing pain in the neck
Paint the rims the same dark blue as the stripe on your bike ....... or black.
Then do what Dylan does .............nothing !
...............lets 'em get
as dirty as all hell ! and nobody notices (the bike that is ..well maybe Dylan too
) lolol
As for no brakes .......... ya might have to go Fred Flintstone with that plan
or extra thick soles on you boots ...........maybe a parachute out the back
or a 007 ejector seat ...
kinda like this idea

Alternative braking
You could stay with the mantra" If it don't make it go faster, strip it off"....but as you pointed out the crosswalks are a problematic.
Along the lines of Mr. Flinstone, one could affix a 2x4 to the side of the machine so it pivots about a center, where one end is operated by hand and the other is put in contact with the pavement. The sawdust created will be much cleaner and stay clear of fouling the wheels. Caution should be used in cornering as the tire contact may be unloaded with vigorous use.
A more sophisticated approach might employ another powerplant. You could go about engineering a means to add a second engine/clutch to the drive wheel, only in reverse, as you close the throttle to the forward engine, the reversing engine is engaged and throttled up. This solution could be expensive and take years of R&D. Perhaps just a Turbine engine that provides reversing thrust?
My suggestion for you however would be to glue a Plastic Jesus on the speedo and look for divine power when approaching those pesky intersections.

You might turn those pedestrians a bit brown around the edges (not to mention the undie area) and you'd have to make sure they're not too powerful, or you could break the speed limit in reverse
