It's incredibly difficult to practice a panic stop because you don't panic when you practice. Yes using both brakes stops you fastest, but locking the rear negates all those benefits. If you lock the rear and slips to one side just a bit and you release it, you highside which is why when you lock the rear you are supposed to stay on it and keep it locked. Doing that now leaves you with less momentum keeping you up right and puts you at a high risk to lowside if you are at all leaned or need to swerve.
If I could ride I'd also conduct a test showing the braking power of engine breaking vs skidding, I'd imagine engine braking offers more deceleration. Anyway, coming in to a thread and advocating that a new rider continue using his rear brake when he is obviously not capable of using it correctly (No offense to OP, it takes a **** ton of practice and years of riding to fully use the rear in a panic situation) is just a bad idea. And the video will get posted once I get paid

I would disagree with just about everything you just posted. The only thing I will comment on is this....."If you lock the rear and slips to one side just a bit and you release it, you highside" Sorry but that is just not correct. I can easily get my rear tire a good 6-12 inches of center and release the brake with no ill effects. It gives a little wiggle but nothing more......Yes, when you start to see your rear tire out of the corner of your eye, whatever you do don't get off the brake but if you are that out of shape you have already screwed yourself. I have said my piece. We just disagree.

A failure in communication, imho on the comprehension side, leads to a pointless attack. Not worth playing a loser's game by clarifying when nobody's hearing.

Also, what's the insurance company buy back on the bike? On my 2006 it was around $550, I ended up negotiating a settlement that kept the title clear and clean so that I could rebuild it and get back on the road quickly. If your gas tank isn't damaged I'd be interested in buying it, and I'm sure you could sell that low-mile motor for $300-400 fairly easily.

All of this has been hashed out at length in the "rear brake" threads already; linked from the riding skills sticky. Those are probably the places to continue to debate that particular topic, but it ended up here and shouldn't have been left without proper context.

I did too. gotta love progressive and USAA. People here want too much for their ninjas and most of them beat the hell out of them and don't do maintanence. I was luck to get the one i did at such a good price so i'll have shop around for 6 months again to find one to replace it. i have time so the fat lady hasn't sung yet.

I'm trying to look after my ninja, but I can see it getting worse over time I guess anything that breaks or ends up looking too worn-out/ugly can always be fixed or replaced. Would be nice to have a garage so I can at least protect it from the weather a bit more when it's not in use.

I have one on my 650 so I don't have to look at her and feel shame and guilt for not loving her properly

Dooo eet! If I built my own place (which I'm never going to do in England because land is ridiculously expensive here, the gov are control freaks about what you can do with your land and the weather is mostly horrid!) I'd build something that was self-sufficient. Power generation, drinking water purification, sewage management and even food production all built into the house. Contemporary houses have zero appeal to me. They're so unimaginative and entirely dependent on vulnerable, expensive, centralised resources.

That sounds awesome trixter. You need good people to do it with though. It would be nice having that level of freedom, but not so nice to do it alone.
