That stuff is common out here in the country. I have to assume every blind curve has something blocking the road. The last one I came across was a stopped school bus, and I had to brake pretty hard to stop in time. A less attentive car or truck driver could easily have plowed into the bus full of kids. You'd think the bus drivers would be trained to not stop right after a blind curve.

At least is right. Both my H2 and my Ninja 250 will lift the rear wheel in the fastest possible stop, which means the front brake is doing 100% of the stopping.
