Topic: Front brake laws?

[754]

ANYONE AFRAID OF THE FRONT BRAKE NEEDS A RIDER COURSE.

 And a lot that use them could benefit from the course..probably myself included..

 A pet peeve of mine is older or experienced riders that neglect to try to impart some of the important stuff to the newbs.. I think I jumped on King a bit on that point, for selling a bike with no front brake, and his attitude about it.

Going back to the original question; here in Illinois, you are not required to have a front brake.  You ARE required to have two separate means (hand and foot) of applying brakes.  So, I imagine if you arranged some setup where you could actuate the rear brakes both with a pedal and lever, you would be legal without a front brake here.

That being said, my chopper has dual disc brakes up front and single disc rear...

Thank you, Digger!

I never meant to start a bashing thread as you can tell from the original post.
