Applying only the rear brake; a No-No

My point of view on new riders getting into the bad habit of applying the rear brake only at slow speeds and how dangerous that is. Well for the few that actually know that a rear brake exists :o)

This video is worse than Uncle Rico's football video!!  Pretty much the worst video ever....

[zone07]

How dare you insult Uncle Rico's video?!

y does he place a random hot girl in the middle of a clip...just wondering...love what you are doing keep it up!

for thumbnails. If you check my main site you'll see videos with different girls on them for each video but my latests videos look the same because they got rid of the 50% thumbnail image. I thought it made the site look less boring and more interesting.

front brakes, back brakes, hot women, turning, accelerating, hot women, lane splitting, counter steering, hot women, start your bike, hot women, use the clutch, hot women, cagers, hot women, get fuel, hot women, helmet cam, hot women, hot women, hot women......

I'm noticing a certain repetition in your vids but I can't quite put my finger in it.

Thanks man.

This guru slowed down the left lane , then crossed two lines. Now we must put him into stress to see if he can handle what he's preaching.

guy your videos are a waste of time, and your annoying as fuck. buy a reel bike instead of that slab.

@DigitalminiDV A safety course taught me thats a very bad idea...I thought that was common sense but hey...

You don't want that pothole you missed and unbalanced u slightly to make u accidentally grab a fistful of front brake

[DigitalminiDV]

you should teach riders to cover their brakes too. hahaha you weren't doin it. the 0.25 seconds it took you to move your fingers from grip to brake lever can mean 6 foot or more of stopping distance. It can mean just stopping inches from a car's bumper or 6 feet into the car. Just a thought. I completely agree with you though with applying both brakes. 70% braking power should be coming from the front and 30% from the rear.

i got here because of the thumbnail =.=

Having personally witnessed a motorcyclist loose control next to my car by applying too much rear brake, I would strongly recommend getting in the habit of doing things the right way and learning the limits of your cycle. Watching two people doing somersaults at 60 miles an hour next to your car isn't funny.

@needtomesswithyou Doubt any woman lets you put your finger "in it" anyway.

If you're going no faster than 10km/h maybe 15km/h, using your rear brake is ok for the most part. But if you're on the street cruising at 60 and you have to come to a stop, then use both.

[GuilhermeCosta1992]

The rear brake is the safest one to use, because even if it locks-up the bike can easily be controlled. If the front tire locks-up, you are going down, but of course a person should use both. They way I do it is braking with the back tire and slowly using the front tire as well, but only if needed. If I don't want to brake, simply slow down slightly, I'll use mostly the back brake. I still advise the use of both, just trying to say it's not that dangerous (my opinion)

The repetition is ADHD
