"Brake lever guard?"
I never had anyone try to steal my brake lever...

I guess bark busters wouldn't look as cool on a sport bike.

the other DougI don't think Dave Westby wants to bust bark.

Rather, Josh Herrin!

(Maybe you've already seen the video clip of the Daytona 200 last lap; Herrin hit Westby's brake lever with his elbow (at about 200 mph), spilling Westby and another rider.)

Yup, there's a thread about it around here somewhere. Pretty sketchy move by Herrin and I guess the AMA has penalized him for it.
