brake leak

When I replaced my MC I found that the best thing was to clean off the hoses 
going to the MC, Press on the brakes a few times then going up to see if it 
was leaking.
Sure enough, the brake sw leaked. (Not on the G60 MC)

With brakes I am anal. Its nice to go fast, but stopping is a nice feeling  
:)
