Thank my lucky stars, I've never done that in 25 years of riding.
the motorcycle just slows down to a stoplol kinda like a bicycle
It's extremely rare for a motorcycle to have a blow out, I have been riding for 46 years and have never had a blow out.
ENVY YOU! Check the unibody for RUST and damages FIRST MECHANICALS are easy to fix BODY WORK and paint or NOT easy to fix! STEERING sucked on those year cars! New brakes are on INTERNET from BRAKE WAREHOUSE and more places! Have NEW brake lines and hoses installed and perhaps even a new MASTER CYLINDER! CALIPERS should clean up with SAND BLASTING! Expect about $500 or so if someone ELSE does the work! BYE NOW!
Brakes not working is a very vague term. A worst case scenario requiring new lines, hoses, pads, shoes, drums, discs, calipers, booster, pistons, hardware and master cylinder will probably run somewhere in the $1500 to $2500 range.
