Thanks everyone for all the tips.  So far I removed the drum, vacumed all the
brake dust, scotch-brited [sp] the drum surface, and used some brake cleaner. 
Re-assembled and it appears to be better.  I will give a good testing
tomorrow.
 
Cheers,
Alan

Subject: [Roadsters] Left Rear Brake Locking Up
  
Since spring occured this
past weekend in Oregon, I got the roadster out for a
couple spirited drives. 
I noticed the left rear brake locking up under
moderate to extreme braking.  I
am looking for some "easy" suggestions to try
before taking it to a mechanic. 
My first thought is to back of the brake
adjustment nut on that hub one
click.  Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Alan
