And when there is a bike right in front of you hard on the brakes at the end of a fast straight, would you just run into it, or try and scrub some speed off with the back brake
Having been in that position I know what I did and although I never use the back brake under normal race or road conditions on that occasion I did and it slowed me enough for the two bikes in front to tip in the corner and for me to carry straight on. At the end of the straight we were probaly around 130 to 140 mph
