Brakes are Brakes

If you ride a motorcycle without a front brake (spool wheel) you get some flack about it from time to time.  The old H-D cable brakes aren't much better.  If you panic and over-brake, that's worse than not having a brake at all.  It's best to just ride a reasonable speed for the conditions, and don't override your motorcycle or your skill level.  We all want to be doin' this stuff for many more years.  Use your head, use your smarts and experience, and when necessary - Don't use your brake.
