New to riding, new bike! (Lozza2442)

[Lozza2442]

ask all you want, you'll never get it here at KB muahahaha..

I'm quickly learning that haha

in summer please ride in a bikini at all times. (male or female doesnt matter)

I think more males need to do this! It's totally safe. Promise!

true, lots of different braking applications in situations and very dependant on the bike as well - and gentle touch to the rear during a corner is different to her advice she said she got of 60% rear 40% front all the time!

try stopping as quick as you can using the back brake more than the front let us know how it goes.. down hill too..

there are so many techniques to learn like dragging the brakes to settle it down in a corner or as wheelie control etc.. but basics for a learner should focus on stopping safely and quickly when things get sticky. for me its definitely all front brake. but I'm on a sports bike.

I am not totally dependant on the rear brake, I am also fully awear of the front V rear stopping ratios.
Using the both combined in a dire situation on a couple of occassions has been most effective.
Had a chap on a group ride (been riding several months) who thought it was a good idea to drag the front brake whilst performing that dumb shit slalom crap on cold tyres...
No real need to explain how that turned out?

true, nice - sports bike?

I can only speak from my experience. i can use only front, the rear will have so little load on it I'm sure its just skimming/lifting half an inch off the ground. bike stops pretty quick, quicker than if I try and use less front to get traction on the back.. that just ends up in me covering more distance as I try and make the back do some work. front has done it all on all my bikes. (this is like a straight line emergency brake) but I've only owned full sports race rep things. works on the mrs gn250 too tho. back brake as lots of other uses for me, when carrying pillion, cornering, low traction/poor road surfaces, comfort smoothness etc when cruising.

lol, was he doing slalom through cones or just fannying about? oh well I'v done more stupid stuff than I care to remember..

I dunno if city care wants to clean vomit off the roads everywhere.

If there was enough girls doing it to like even out the ugliness it would work.

It is safe - just stay on your bike

Haha I disagree, you're more likely to get crashed into from people getting distracted/running into you on purpose to kill you - depending on what you look like.

For the love of christ man, the reason you cannot use the rear bike more the the front is very bloody simple. Weight is transferred forward as soon as the brakes are applied, so the amount of traction at the rear is progressively lessened the more that the brakes are put on.

i don't love christ. never knew the guy, and his fan club have waged some of the most fucked up wars/ attempted genocides in history. not to mention being the foundation for the current scheme of governance.
although as they'd have you believe, hell has a special place for those who take his name in vain.

at any rate, could you please point to where i said to "use the rear bike more the the front"?
or even where i suggested using the rear brake more than the front one?
or where i mentioned that weight is NOT transferred forward under braking?
or where i suggested that rear traction was progressively (rather than exponentially) increased under braking?

i can see one fuckup in my posting, but that aint it, and it's more a matter of interpretation/miscommunication than an inherent fuckup.

Men just love lose woman don't they? with all the meat spilling out over the flaps of a huge gash and a vegetable dropping out

Like you I never make misatkes.

Only like to lose woman once we have finished with them.
Love loose woman. morally loose not medically, thanks for putting me off my lunch

Why would a vegetable be falling out? I'm feeling quite ill from imagining it quite frankly.

Stop imagining and start to practice ...
