Thoughts About Use of the Rear Brake on a Superbike With ASBK Racer Mike Jones
There are many varied opinions out there about the use of the rear brake, especially on a race track. Truth is, use of the rear brake depends entirely on context, and when it comes to high speed riding on race tracks, who better to ask than the people who do that the best.
So we did, here we had the opportunity to ask ASBK racer Mike Jones (aka Mad Mike) directly about his use of the rear brake on the race track.
