[TR] Spit: 2 dumb discoveries, 1 to go?

I sent this before but it probably got stopped by the size filter.  
So here is part one:

At first glance it doesn't sound like brakes, but do keep reading!  
In the meantime, is your front suspension okay?  And the rear too?

Wow.  I've done some dumb things in my life but I don't think I've 
ever intentionally driven with the brakes detached.  Not that I'm 
passing judgment or anything, mind you...

Are you SURE there is no leaking?  And the fluif level in the MC is 
not going down?  Then your MC isn't generating any pressure in the 
line, or you still have so much air in the line that compressing the 
air offers no change in how it feels.

When you bleed the brakes, do you see fluif come out??  On all four 
wheels?
