Oh what's that noise



  182-gsxr600
Had funny one today, had to make a run to airport so took the work/track car the 182.
Just coming off the m25 onto the m11 I hear a weird noise on the front left????? So I opened the windows and it sounded like s**t in the brakes or driveshaft whining slightly . So carried on another 100 meters now its twice as loud?? So I pull over check the driveshaft ect see if there's anything!! All good??
So jump back in floor it to get some speed up and clunk now it's as if I got a brick in me wheel?? So I stop again take a look at the only thing it can be yes the brake caliber is hanging off!!!! Oh that's the noise!!!
Lucky I had to do a set of relay disc and pads the day before!!!!!! So I had half my tool box from work in the car, 15 mins later and to slam panel bolts missing its good to go! Anyone else has an issue there perfect there only m8 13s!! Now I can't say I had any kind words to say about the bloke I got the car from around the time it happened!!!
And before anyways says it there coming back off tomoz and having some nice free bolts from work.

your lucky it didnt lock up that wheel, god help if it did :S

things like that shouldnt happen. iv put super strength locktite on the bolts before bolting the calipers back on. f**k having them work there way off

Just shows how stupid some ppl are, sorted it to with some new bolts and some loctite! Can't believe it actually fell off lol!! Lucky the pads stayed there tbh.
