I'm not the fastest FJ rider, I am 'half-fast', the fastest slow guy....

I am not 100% sure of the cause.
Due to front brake issues on the 2nd and 3rd test rides. I am now convinced that a faulty front brake master cylinder was the cause. I replaced the master cylinder and now have almost 100 miles on the bike.
