I do like Highbeam. That front wheel is locked sometimes, as well as the back (with the clutch held in), and still picking up speed going down some of the steepest terrain (See my avatar...I bet I'm going 15-20 mph with both wheels locked up down that monster of a hill). I'll let the front wheel stay locked, or nearly locked all the way down, as long as I'm still able to stay upright. If I need to steer more, I let off the front brake for an instant, then, I'm back on it locked up. It's just what you have to do sometimes...it's not like it's going to suddenly get a lot of traction and dump you on your head when you're in gravelly stuff and slipping like you'll never stop. It's not that hard to get used to when you consider the alternative!

no sarcasm intended, you gave some helpful information.
