I was taking it slow as to avoid touching the brakes and the bike stopped suddenly and i was on the floor in the water with the bike on top of me and a dent in the tank from my knee.

After investigation we found a caliper had been sticking and had locked on which i hadn't noticed on braking before the turn from around 60 mph to about 10
That sounds really annoying!

Have you got a bigger picture of that bike in your avatar image? I'm curious about what it looks like. It looks kinda 80s-futuristic!
