What I learned about the 60s and 70s music is that it was all mixed "vocal-centric" for the tiny speaker (one) on the "TV" or the car dashboard. Even when "stereo" came on, the mix was all about the vocals. I never knew there were some great musicians n the background. Makes me happy for these days . . . Dawn of the Buffalo = "Donna the Buffalo " . . .

Welcome, @Donk! A "brown" Norge like this one that Pete roper posted, above?

What is the explanation, then, that my system "bled" after chocking the master cylinder ("tying the lever") even though there was zero pressure when I tied it (the lever came to the completely to the grip with no resistance/pressure at all)?

Quota weather!

This happened to mySport replacing the front brake master cylinder with the bike on a lift (standing vertical) and stock clip-ons. Seems the trap was the small 90º elbow at the M/C. Tying off the lever made the difference.

Metric isn't perfect for everything. For instance, this just doesn't play: "There's something leakin' I'm two liters low."

Not to burst anybody's bubble (heh ), but I have tied back the front brake lever on a failed bleed that I could not get any pressure whatsoever and the lever feel (pressure) came back overnight. At the time I thought the rationale was that the master cylinder, in the "activated" position, allowed air to rise into the reservoir, Do doubt, this has only worked for me with the master cylinder fluid supply line angled above the cylinder with the reservoir higher.

Best Thunderstruck intro, ever . . .
