I can totally relate to that ! When I was 15 I bought my first Dirt Bike, a 1993 Suzuki RM 250cc 2 strokes. Rear brake didn't work so I only had the front brake and I drove it every where on the streets ( Peruvian police don't really care about those things, plus 5 dollar can get out of even prison :P ) and then when I was 17 I bought a 1996 Yamaha TZR 250cc 2 stroke that me and a friend were suiting up for GP Racing, front brake lines were clogged and if you pressed the front brake it would block and send you to the ground ...
Pretty funny times

Spud, no problem for the parts and everything, I found a lot of spares on ebay so think I'm just gonna deal with ebay. Plus I might be trading my bike for a '93 Yamaha FZR600 soon. Thank you for everything
