mydlyfkryzis said:Don't do stoppies on a CB350. The bike doesn't have the weight distribution for it. The front wheel will lock and skid before you get a good stoppie...a lock wheel is good for a highside crash...

D4N63R said:If you high side a bike from locking up the front wheel at 20-30KPH while going strait none the less you sir are a champion crasher... Ive watched a lot of people lock up there front end, i have yet to see one high side from it (even at race pace)
I thought I was safe, i was good at just jumping over the bars if needed when i was trying to get really high up on the super moto. Then one day i caught the bars with my foot... I keep my stoppies pretty calm since then hahahaha It didnt hurt all that bad just wrecked a helmet i really liked.

I used to do a shitlode of single track offroad trail riding.. anyway a buddy says to me he says after we get back from a loop "how do you do that one wheel thing on the downhills?" I say what ? he says on those steepest rutted downhills your rear tire floats about 6" off the dirt !
I didn't even know it was happening
mydlyfkryzis said:Going straight on pavement in rain, prolly some diesel fuel on it), front brake locked the wheel, maybe not a high side, but I ended up flat on my stomach, doing about 40 MPH, i have no scars, but the bike does. It wasn't a low side, maybe better called a side side???? At any rate I was thrown to the left and the bike was spinning down the road on it's left side....
Why does the Harley crowd in general eschew front braking? The worry about falling.
I use my front brakes, but the wheel will lock up but on my CB360 and NH750 long before any stoppie occurs...I can get a nice screeching front wheel stop, especially with the stainless lines. The feel and modulation capabilities are great with the better lines.
I always wanted to be a champion, but not a crash one... 8)
