Heehee,
It's an unwritten rule on the 'other' firestorm list that all bike pics must be accompanied by a pair of slippers
The brake lever is actually deliberately chopped off. I damaged my thumb a few years ago and its still not right.
As a consequence I have to have the brake lever set
really close to the bar and as I only ever use 2 fingers (and on the brake too!!

) the other 2 kept getting trapped. Out came the hacksaw and file and its not perfect. MoT guys happy with it, track days don't seem to notice, its only smart butt forum readers than pick up on it
