This is pretty good info. If only I could master the rear braking technique they discuss. Backing it in would be super cool. They make it seem so simple a caveman could do it.

Doh! Nevermind, you guys beat me too it.

Hey, cool video. I haven't seen that one before, and that's the first time I've seen Rossi on a production bike. Good find.

Last summer at track school they had us spend some time using only the rear brake for laps. I must not use it very effectively when I ride, because I was really surprised how well I could get around with no front brakes. They asked us to lock it up a few times too, just to get used to the rear sliding. It's a little awkward in right-handers, though.

Unfortunately, I'll probably never learn to back a bike in, but here's an interesting write-up on the mechanics of it: http://www.supermotoracer.com/SMR%20...2_backitin.pdf

Good find! Very informative.

Yeah, screw that rear braking. I'm not ready to high side yet.

Otherwise, there's some great stuff in there.
