Took the bike in the other day for new chain & sprockets and to finally get the braided hoses fitted.

 Whilst wandering  round Leamington to kill time I bought FAST BIKES (something I dont usually do as I dont like it)

 On the 'WELCOME PAGE' it states that (and I quote)

  'Braking is crucial to getting entry speed right, and yet a simply stunning 20% of UK motorcyclists don't even use the front brake. Ever. No, really I heard this from the head of the BikeSafe scheme a man who has met an alarmimg amount of riders petrified by the massive anchors clamped to their front wheel.'

 I find this hard to believe

did they have the handle bars at the right end cos i hardly use the rear
(brake that is for the filthy minded ones) 

[nuddy]

20% never used the front brake 

That must be the harley riders

C'mon guys....

Speedway riders have a vote as well you know

Maybe I need to let mine off so I'll go quicker

Who answered sometimes 

Front all the time hardly ever use the back!

an interesting poll and subject to abuse, of course everyone uses the front brake albeit on a scooter you may use the rear alone but even then I doubt it

yes similar, always the rear at the panic corner moments or just to scrub a little off when it's simply wrong to use the front

28/9 years of riding adds up to a leetle beet o experience methinks!!
