Wow. This has me really conflicted. I can see it from a safety perspective of course, but I kind of miss the skill it used to take to ride a motorcycle. For instance, I really miss having necessary shift points on my F6B. Anyway, the linked braking seems to be more than sufficient for me. I just need to remember to use the foot brake as well as the hand if I want to stop faster.
