I didn't say Tony G did what I did. I said that what I do is not too
dissimilar to his way. I brake late and use a lot of rear brake. When I
brake hard with the front, it doesn't allow you to lean the bike down as far
and as quickly as it does when you use the rear. THAT IS ALL I HAVE BEEN
SAYING. Also, your opinion on why he or I do it doesn't mean shit to me. I
do it for MY reasons and I won't change because of you opinions.
I do respect your opinions, but you have no right to be so pretentious as to
tell me that I am wrong. You do not have that right.
