Maybe a dumb question but i'll take any advice!I'm a newby,just got my first bike...The other day i failed to see the stop sign in front of me cause some douche decided to park his van right in front of the sign so nobody could see it...Anyway,when i realised there is a stop sign on the other side of the street i hit both brakes at the same time and what happened is all the weight transfered to the front wheel so of course i locked the rear one and i started sliding but luckily i managed to stay on the bike.I ended up stopping completely in the middle of intersection but thank god there was no traffic... I know i need to practise my emergency braking,i would like to hear some opinions of experienced riders,like in which order i should apply the brakes and should i use the engine for braking as well like i would do with my car?Some riders dont ever use the rear brake,do you? I know,i can't spell...
