Brake light problem

Had my friend riding behind me tonight and he pointed out that my brake lights weren't coming on, so at the next light i looked at the reflection of my 3rd brake light off the diamond plate of my tool box and noticed I had to press the brake pedal fairly far for my brake lights to come on, quite a bit more than I'm comfortable using frequently, is there a way to adjust when in the stroke of the pedal that the lights come on?

You probably have a brake pedal switch sticking. Replace it an I would bet your problems go away.
