    Just watched Nicky Hayden with a footfull of rear brake, left rubber on
    the track.
    All these cunts that say they *only* use the front brake are not fully
    in control of their motorcycle, a dab of rear steadies, especially 2 up.
    Reckon?

    already, you're comparing road riding to track riding. Apples and
    oranges.
    you're not fully in control of the fucking English language.

    Champ says...
    I don't use the back brake, I'm slower then Champ. Make of that what you
    will.

  5. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Lozzo
    I use the back brake. I know my place.

    [1] Unless I'm doing wlaking speed things
    [2] Except *possibly* AntonyE on a BOTAFOF some time ago.

    I use the back on the ZRX, but not when I ride sportsbikes.

    Case full of battery operated penguiins.
