Yep. Its up and riding. I have learned that you want to use your front brakes for slowing down at lights and stop signs and to keep an eye on my tach because before you know it your going 75mph in under 5 secs.[sm=gobble.gif]

Also, i felt especially elite when i did my first rider to rider hand pass. a mutual love for the machines is what!

Yeah, you want to use your front brakes for every braking situation. Its somewhere around 80 percent of your bikes braking ability is from the front brakes. The rear really does little other to stabilize the bike during braking. You should practice stops while using both brakes and you should apply this method everytime you stop.
