Looks cheap and nasty. You can imagine where the excess lube goes when the chain is oiled. Is it a Harley?

Excess lube? Did you look at the chain? I think the pads are safe!

Not only is that chain old, it is in terrible condition.  I would be ashamed to have anything to do with it ...

You know, I think I should give up riding!

I looked at the bloody stupid picture for ages before I spotted anything unusual apart from the dry chain.

Any lube should of course get flung out by centrifugal effect and not get anywhere near the pads but a little would at least stop the pistons and pads from sticking  8)
