Thanks, It just makes sense and I always use both breaks firm, and never grab the front. I just didn't say anything when they said that and completed the class.

I use 2 to cover the clutch, but that's just because I use my clutch all the time... mostly for clutching it up

I rarely ever use the rear...mostly engine braking and the front...if I have to use the rear I feather it...if you lock up the rear you lose control of your bike...

I use my rear all the time... It's kinda dumb to try trailbraking with the front. Besides... I have to use the rear to bring the front back down if I pull it back too far.

But I only do so when I'm wearing a Corona tank top, cut-off jean shorts, flip-flops, and a backwards baseball cap.... because we all know that it's the best protections available.

the life of a stunter

trailbraking would be fun around here but the cops would have some nice paperwork waiting for me...I save the trailbraking for the track
