I use my front and rear brakes together when slowing to a stop light/sign!
WHen stopped at a light, looking in my mirrors behind me, i keep my Rear Brake down, to keep my rear brake light on or flickering for cagers behind me to stop. Also im able to Rest my throddle hand at those lights. I Only use my rear brake when stopped at a light, on a Uphill to keep from rolling back. Sometimes when im in a rolling stop at a stopsign, i creep foward with my rear brake being dragged (like MSF teaches you). Afew times other bikers behind me have had too put down a foot or 2 waiting for me. Cuz im pretty good with that techneic!

While in a slight lean... heading into a corner at a low speed... i lay off the Front brake 100%, while keeping a slight foot down on my Rear brake, until i slow enuff, to feel safe to complete the turn (in gravel or dusty areas that cover most of the corner, and i Dont have anywhere else to use - Cager taking up most of the room)
