Seriously though. Do it! I just got my bike insured again today so I thought I'd go out for a quick ride around the nearby country lanes. Having not practiced emergency braking much recently, I thought I'd get some in on the quiet roads. I did. I sucked! 5 minutes later one of THESE pulled out in front of me:

I applied my poor emergency braking technique as best as I poorly could and stopped an inch away from that French bumper! Too close for comfort.

I'm definitely going to get some steel braided brake lines installed soon and practice my braking more.
