[QUOTE="MarksCR250, post: 120573, member: 23850"] CRGuy, what I did was open the topic of emergency braking up using an illustration/story of something that happened to me. It was my hope that other people would also share THEIR stories, and talk about what they learned. The topic is emergency braking, ok? Ok. Well I read a test report where they practiced emergency braking using front/rear brakes, front brakes only, and rear brakes only. The result was that using front and rear gave the quickest stops (obviously), but using front ONLY gave results that were very close to using both brakes. Using rear brakes only gave poor results. So now we know how important front brakes are to emergency stopping. As far as front brake locking goes, I think the main thing to avoid is grabbing the front brakes with so much force/panic that you *instantly* lock up. You want to apply them as hard as your balance on the bike and its stability on the surface will allow without just instantly locking them up. And in a straight line. Trying to 'abs' the brakes is probably a waste of time.. and you might only have a second or two to make the right decision. [/QUOTE]
