My advice........ Dont take advice from a guy who has totaled two bikes in less than a year due to improper braking technique.

Once you have been riding for 4-5 years and have 50-60 thousand miles under your belt then you should decide if you want to use the rear brake during panic stops............ Until then use the rear brake.

As a new rider I implore you to use both brakes. Every study posted, every test done has proven your stopping distance will be shorter using both brakes.

You did the right thing........ Well done on NOT rear ending the car in front of you.
