I only use the rear brake when I'm coming to a high-speed, straight line stop.
There is a reason we have 2 huge rotors/calipers in the front, and a puny single in the rear, hehe.
It's funny, but riding a dirt bike is the opposite, instead of counter-steering, you're using the rear brake to turn. That's def. an advanced technique for the street I'll prolly never use. Racer Steve G. is very good with that, but he was riding DB's since he could walk..

I use the BB, when i want to fuck around. I honestly don't use it much more then that. I never use it on the track, or really the street when we are hitting the twisties. This year I'm going to try and change that. Work in progress.

Well, you're a DB'er, so that's good!
I want to work on more front trail braking (in the turn). I was impressed to hell watching Steve do that on some Sunday Burns..

Yup, so much so that I helped ChrisCrt do his over the phone just like you did for me. I felt like an old pro. He had/has a MV too so I just explained what you told me about starting with the MV but finishing without it. Worked like a charm. Thanks, and now you helped 2 peeps with this and didnt even know it. :helloThanks
