i'm not sure where to put this post/question.
looking through this site (which is terrific!), i notice that many riders talk about how they use their rear brake.
i am about to pull the trigger on a new HD, but right now ride a BMW ... which will be sold for the new ride.
but i must say i never use my rear brake when i ride. okay, sometimes in rare emergencies & to keep the bike in place when stopped, etc., but almost never when i'm riding.
i'm buying a RKC & i've noticed some posts here about dropping the bike inadvertently when doing a u-turn because they turned the front wheel & grabbed some front brake. should one use the rear brake in that situation?
anyway, i'm just interested in this riding technique because, like i said, i almost never use the rear brake on my beemer.
just curious ...
