@dibblego never ridden a mb, but had a car that locked its rears first under hard braking — back always came round
I have noticed a recent trend of people advising against the use of a motorcycle rear brake in the event of an emergency stop.

@sm_dg_ I have a suspicion that this trend is motivated by what has been seen on the television (motogp). If so, *face palm*.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@dibblego Is that a bad idea? I barely touch my rear brakes... -
@mwotton Yes, it is a bad idea to not use rear brakes at all. I am tempted to prove it on every kind of tyre that exists. - Show replies
