Are you saying you can get the bike to stop, from say 35 or 45 mph without using the front brake? Cause I can't. Heck it won't stop it going 10 or 20, although I am going to test it some.
Yes, that's correct. However, due to the laws of physics, it's going to take much longer than using the front brakes. I typically use a little bit of my rear brake in conjunction with my fronts. Sometimes I'll use just the rear brake to scrub off a little speed here and there. But until this topic came up, I don't think I had ever tried stopping with the rear brake only.
