[T F Stern's Rantings] The Gold Wing - Continued: Bob also taught me how to lock up the front brakes to make the most God awful roar; to be used as a replacement for the siren that never had been issued since these machines really were never intended as pursuit vehicles. They had fairly effective disc brakes on the front that, unlike a two wheeled motorcycle, could be locked up without causing an immediate loss of control. When done properly, if such can be said, as soon as the front wheel was locked up, we would then turn the handle bars as if to turn, accelerate a little and scrape the rubber off on the pavement. The resulting noise was sufficient to make folks pull over to the side, believing that a wreck was eminent; at which time we also would pull behind them and motion for them to stop so that we could issue them a traffic ticket for whatever purpose we intended to begin with.
