I used it at the rally pulling into gravel. Apparently I locked up the rear when I stopped. I didn't realize it til Shane said dude, you totally locked it up and then mjmff2?? came sliding past on the ground.

I know it does something, but it just doesn't feel like it.

I only use my rear for stopping on gravel at low speeds, and low speed parking lot turns.

Ha me too!I pulled in looking at him and the front slipped so I used the rear without thinking about it. It's easier for me because back when I was taught to ride, you were taught to use both brakes and sport bikes didn't exist yet. Hell, back then I knew guys that never used the front brakes and preached against them. Some chops and modded bikes didn't even have front brakes!
