    Long Beach area riding?

    Reliable brakes?

    He's right if you're trashing your stuff from crashing, buying stronger stuff probably won't help you out. But just in case you want to go throw some cash at your problem check out Goodridge for housing or Dangerboy for replacement levers. Goodridge makes brake lines for F1 cars, supposedly...

    How to end with this immigration problem
