Buddies, please inspect your own for safely reason. Which located left hand side of the engine, from the ABS pump outlet pipe line. There are two out of four pipes made of rubber in between. They will fade; expand and worn out afterward.

AK helped me to inspect and found have leakage also. Therefore, I upgrade that part to Stainless for long last. I found it's worth after tested drive. The brake pedal feeling improved and firmed that before.

Cheerleading and bull running???? They should include football hooligan too. Anyway, there is no definitive list. regulations have cut down fatal injuries but it's not safe, there r people died from this sport, eg senna.

Btw, highly recommend everest-the death zone, if u interested in watching, pm me, I can try to dig it out from my collection.
