Watch out for Slick Looking Stuff!

why do you use the rear brake? it is a question not a statement I sure would like to know.. also who teaches rider to use the rear brake alone I have so far found nobody in teaching classes that would explain to me the advantage of using the rear brake for stopping .. i was taught a good usage of rear brake was to alter your line in a turn at high speed and I can say it did work in tightening the radius and when riding 2up it has effective stopping power due to the weight on the rear wheel (the heavier the passenger the better the braking otherwise it is in my view ineffective in slowing and stopping without the front brake..

I guess my pet peeve is to rambling about it so pay no attention ..
Hell I don't know Duke. It is a bad habit, though I do use the fronts alot more than I used to. Maybe a panic situation. I think in this case I was better off with a loose rear than a loose front. You guys keep hammering on this thick skull and maybe I'll get her right. Thanks for asking Duke,

Reminds me of a fellow who used to tour with my dad and his friends. They all had Goldwings, he had the only Harley. He always encouraged the others to look for falling parts and he would buy them back at the end of the day ! Another time someone asked him why his old shovel head didn't have a tachometer. He said it wasn't needed, just rev her till the bolts start backing out, then shift !
I'd like to Fred, but I don't know. I thought you and TOW, Andy and Teresa were going elsewhere.?

That's just a pack a lies perpetrated by the man to keep a brother down ! **** I like saying that (or typing it in this case):p Not sure where your getting your intelligence but Tow and I have already rented a room at the Hub. I don't believe Ogre has said anything at all about it. Come on down man ! And this time bring YOUR TOW along !
 
Kerry said "maybe?" So who knows. I just thought I read that you guys had prior engagements. Soooooooo, maybe I will. I also thought about going to Maine or ??
