The thing that worries me is the sheet metal fender starts to have stress cracks from the vibration. We went on a cruise yesterday and we were cruising around 30mph and the first thing that came to mind was: I could get seriously injuried if my front tire locked up. Being "No spring chicken"...I relized that it takes A LOT longer to heal compared to my youthful days. In fact, my knee still bothers me since my mishap last month.
