Why is that a "no no?" That may be exactly what you need to cure the
pulsating brakes. Try 4-5 hard stops from 50 MPH or so. If the problem
is rust spots or uneven accumulation of brake pad material, this will
often fix the problem.

Re: Couple of small conerns
 

HAHAHAHA Matt that is a GREAT IDEA only problem is I take it you havnt ever
been to Las Vegas or havnt been here recently....95% of the time its hard to
get up to 50 MPH. It used to take me about 20 minutes to drive from one end
of the Strip to the other now sometimes you you sit at a stop light for MORE
than 20 minutes and if I were to try that over once on a main highway I
would cause one of the biggest multi-car accidents you would ever see.
Sometimes on I-15 you can walk faster than the traffic moves, other times
its bumper to bumper at 80 MPH. Traffic is so bad here that if you cant get
in the right lane when you wanna get off the I-15 or I-95 you may end up
going 2 or 3 exits past where you wanna get off. I always thought New York
drivers were the worst in the world when I lived there...Now I see most of
them must have come from Las Vegas !!!!! We have the Greatest selection of
braindead, nomind retarded drivers in the world, now you can see why I dont
drive much... I'm afraid it might be catching and I don't want it. Been
driving for over 40 years without as much as a parking ticket and I'd like
to keep it that way.

There are lots of roads not far from Vegas that would be suitable. I
was in Vegas just shy of a year ago on vacation. Flew into Vegas, got a
rental Town & Country and drove around the southwest for two weeks,
spending the last 3 days in Vegas. I actually didn't think the traffic
was bad at all. We drove the strip a couple of times, at both night, to
see the lights, and day to see what we missed at night. The strip was
busy, but that was to be expectd. The side streets and other roads
weren't bad at all. We stayed at a place just a little out of town on
the east side. I believe Sienna Suites was the name.

The traffic there is nothing like Boston, Atlanta, LA, etc.

Actually, I need to ride my bicycle more often... :-)

If I wasn't 20 miles from work, I'd ride to work now and then, but 20
miles, when 5 of that is hilly back roads, takes too long. Lance
Armstrong I'm not.
