Hi Kiran, welcome aboard!!! It would be great if you joined us. I am going to convince my fiancee to show up to the meet as well, so you shouldn't be the only girl around. We always have a good time at these get togethers, and every one is welcome. Even those without contours...
Don't worry about the brakes too much, I'm a technician myself, and its nothing to worry about. We recommend that just so no one goes out and pushes the brakes to its limits right away is all.
Looking forward to seeing you there!!!
