they tend to pitch a b1tch when they see sport bike riders with 2 fingers covering the front...i will cover in tight traffic and parking lots...

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

One of the great things about riding out in the country.
