Re: [ST] Go-Show & Rear brake



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.
