Thanks for the insight. Perhaps I will spend a couple hundred of that $20,000 it would cost to upgrade (BTW, would not do this until at least 2020) on an Advanced Rider Course and become a professional brakeotologist. I may have to go out of the region, though...each summer, the local class never gets enough people to sign up (minimum 8) to ever get scheduled.

Has anyone ever tested stopping distance from ___ mph with just the front brake applied (and partially the rear, via linked brakes of course) vs front AND rear applied?
