Its very easy Tyke! When those of us with ABS pull into a bike meet or social gathering we are the ones that pull on the front brake with our fingers crossed and eyes closed! hope this helps you in future, enjoy bleeding your brakes in 15 mins instead of 4 hours!
Plenty of vids on YouTube of what NOT to do tyke! Some of which are really funny others tend to make u say what a TWAT!
I'm actually waiting for a few more track days to see if they even slightly get spongy so I have an excuse to chuck on braided brake lines but they're still as sharp as ever
Haha, having visions of a pair of legs sticking out of a hedge n an R1 lying on its side thru the hedge!
emergency stop with braided lines will most definately get the back wheel up lol! about the same as doing a drag start with a disc lock on
But knowing Jimbo he will prob be more like the video posted the other day with the trick bikes! Doin stoppies and flicking the rear wheel round n immediately pullin away again!
I would prob be more like the twats on the YouTube vids with a mouthfull of tarmac than the folk in the stunt vids! So by that logic it's something I dont plan on trying!
Stoppies are far easier than Wheelies IMHO. For me anyway I've been far better at controlling a 'rear end raise' than a 'front un'
Can confirm that when following a group of bikes through a town and mid bike decides to stop at crossing for old lady who walks up while you look in mirror for mate who held up / stopped traffic for no reason you can to a mighty impressive stoppie with brembo and braided lines to get bike vertical after leaving a 1m long skid mark. The trick is not to let the bike crash down at 90' to the intended path landing on your leg / the road and trashing the bodywork (while just outside a police station as a Policeman has just stepped outside) Told it looked dam impressive, I just failed to save it...
