Are you riding to your parents or trailering the bike? If you're riding, bring some tools along (don't know how far the journey is).
10 years ago, a friend of mine bought an old Pontiac, and he was complaining that the brakes didn't feel right, so he asked for my help. We pulled the rear drum on the passenger side, and there was no shoe material left at all. That was the good side.
The driver's side had worn so badly that the adjuster assembly fell out of the space between the shoes, and the edge of the fork got caught betweent the shoe and the drum. The fork was ground to a very sharp point.
What's worse is that there was a fuel leak, directly over the rear drum. The recipe would have been disastrous, had we not pulled it apart. 8O
