well then the OP is doing a crappy job. I asked the same product related question twice now in an attempt to drag the thread kicking and screaming back on topic & get some more info about the product and I still haven't gotten a friggin answer. Just a bunch of people yappin about how they think their riding technique is superior than someone else's.

It was a poor attempt in the first place, the post content is rife with misinformation and contradiction. All of which was further perpetuated by the experts here.

What do you guys think? Would King Kenny be who he is if he hadn't flattracked and MX'ed?

Maybe he shoulda just gotten a lightened rear rotor for his TZ750.
 
What does this product have to do with 2-up riding? Why is this even part of the discussion? Why isn't this thread in the racing discussions forum where it belongs?
I expected more from you. This isn't a racing discussion. This is a "pimp my bros product" thread by the OP that turned into people discussing opinion and 'technique'. If this thread was 'will a lightened rear rotor help my trail braking?' thread without all the unintelligent bs responses then maybe.
 
Luis, if you think that I do not understand then I can't help you. I have forgotten more about motorcycling than you will probably ever know. all you are doing here is stating the obvious. Too much rear brake mid corner on a sport bike? Will you crash? Ohh, I don't know that!? Help me Luis!
I understand that perfectly...

But, do you not seem to understand.... The use of front and rear brake is quite different from the average Dirt Bike Rider, to the average Sport Bike Rider...

Aggressive application of the front brake on a Dirt Bike, means: You are probably going down...

Aggressive application of the rear brake while cornering on a Sport Bike, means: You are probably going down...


NAME ONE ON ROAD, HIGH SPEED SITUATION, WHERE LOCKING UP THE REAR WHEEL IS CRUCIAL? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? :rimshot: ANYONE...?





Agreed, purposely drifting and sliding... Steering with the rear or steering with the throttle... All synonymous on my book of riding skills...

Flat track is a great way to sharpen drifting on asphalt skill...

However, you do not see top level racers locking the rear wheel around corners...

Luis
You do not seem to understand. Do you really think that all MX or or flattrack is just 'locking the rear wheel around corners'?
