I'm going back to school. All this information is giving me a headache. Everyone uses the rear brake for different reasons or doesn't use the rear at all.

Why doesn't the bike have an emergency brake (you could use it on hills)?

I thought that hitting the rear brake in a turn leaves a cool skid mark and makes you go sideways and look groovey for the girls. Actually you can do this going straight too.

If you aren't supposed to use the rear brake why do they put one on the bike?

The front brake is so little how could it possibly stop you without help from the rear brake?

If Rossi doesn't use any brakes then I'm not either. You learn by imitating others.

I always drag the rear brake so I don't wheelie. I hate wheelies.

The geo-thermal-nuclear frame design calls for extensive use of the rear brake to slow you down from hyper-space.

I was riding the other day and down shifted and used the engine as a brake. Do you know that you can hit redline in every gear just by downshifting?

I think I know everything but just in case I forgot anything please feel free to help me out with knowledgable replies.
