Locking front wheel vs stoppie

[Drew]

I really do need to practice emergency braking though. Before I buy a 1000cc sports bike.

Shit no, do what most people do and just buy one as soon as ya can, then spout off about how great you are for riding a thou.

It's the best way.

Now this could be fun. Only problem is finding someone with a Harley that'll let me try and stoppie it.

Seen a few try it. Never seen it end well. The weight is low and the rake shallow so instead of the bike rolling over the front forks compressing them it seems to wind up skidding the front out. Like sure the front forks compress but you don't get the bike rolling over and pinning the front down the same.
Speaking entirely from observation there, not experience and green bling to you if you do it and post the photo.
