Welcome--also from SWF!
Front brakes locked up. Um that is a need to check out immediately. I have never seen one do that. ever. Not saying I do not believe you just saying never saw it. Thinking caliper might have locked from setting? Some WD and a good soaking should cure it. The braking systems W/O antilock are pretty straight forward, should be an easy fix.
Good luck and welcome

Yea it was really no fun when it happen, I was able to keep control of her. I'm not sure if it was contaminated blake fluid or if the caliper need to be rebuild. The past owner did say one strange thing, about the brake system being DOT5, everything I can find say it's DOT 4. So I dont know if he put the wrong fluid in or what. Since she is a new bike to me, I'm going to make sure all fluids are changed. I might also do new brake lines to make her fancy.
