On the skids
After work today an impromptu stop at Brembo North America , Plymouth Michigan to investigate the possible merger of Brembo brake material and coaster brake hubs
The first person to greet me was Mike C. , he is a polite person genuinely interested in my project. At first he appeared a little distant until we spoke for several moments , he then had a better idea of what my intent was. We talked about mechanical loads on the driving face of the brake plate. While describing the forces he drew parallel to a motorcycle clutch plate, exactly. Mike understood the mechanism and was able to draw a parallel to another motorcycle item, the right guy.
We exchanged business cards and an email was sent to him further explaining my intent. Mike will forward this information to the appropriate department and they will decide if it is in Brembo's interest to become involved in the Twin M/C Cannonball project.
Brakes are critical especially when crossing mountain passes with elevation twice the distance to get a camel, for those who remember cigarette commercials or, for those who don't two miles high. This Twin must achieve equality or out perform the Ghost in most categories to be successful.
