Question:

Can you brake at the same time while turning on a motorcycle with either the front or back brake?

I was wondering if its possible to make turns on a motorcycle while braking? One time I tried to use the front brake to turn when I was first starting out, and the bike locked up on me. I laid the bike down and fell down. Luckly it was an old beat up ride so no harm no foul but I have a nice one now and I can‘t take chances with it. And I have not tried it again. I don‘t think that using the back brake while turning would be possible either. Because it would easily lay the bike down with the back tire sliding out from under me. I really don‘t like using the back break at all actually and people have told me not to use it. I am just wondering if anyone out there does it and can pull it off with the front brake? Thanx
