Locked rear wheels = fishtailing. Scary stuff
On the same note, I hear a lot of people say always use the rear brake on a bicycle, because if you pull the front brake you'll fly over the handlebars. What rubbish, I have clocked a few thousand km of road riding and the front brake always work better. In fact I only use the rear brake when I want to pull the bike vertical on its rear wheel and at one point, my bike didn't have rear brakes at all
That's why I told you last night, the FLX is everything the BLM should have been in the first place. Just too bad we missed it by being a year too early.
i've experienced locked rear wheel on motorcycle, on wet road. it's really a light tap on the brake and slightly uphill.. thankfully i regained control
today also, at federal highway got one indian guy driving saga, i've been following him slowly (100-110kmh) then he move to the middle lane, i speed up but he was racing me and as there's a car in the fast lane, i want to move to the other lane and can't see him, almost hit him. as i speed up to 170 and move ahead there's car in front of me, he might be angry and speed up on the slow lane and cut in front of me. i reflected to left, almost hit him and thank god, left lane is clear, caught up with him while i'm cutting between trailers..
i think i'm being and idiot for excessive honking that blm saga. we exit on the same exit and the traffic light was red, he purposely want to play with me, swaying left right and slow down, brake.. i keep distance.. he wen't out of his car and maki me, showing good and inverted good (bad), show me don't have balls.
i don't know am i afraid or don't want to cause a mess.. i jz let him be.
my conclusion.. i think i owe him, and i won't honk excessively ever
