You do NOT know how to use the rear brake for panic stopping.
The correct technique is to apply both brakes simultaneously, then fade the rear brake pressure as the front tire becomes more loaded.

Are you sure you are an instructor?

:confused

May be time for a MSF refresher course.

Didn't realize we had a chess game going here. Ok, being the sucker I am, I'll bite.

Tell you what. Come join me on the track and let's do a 20 lap non-stop stint at Thunderhill, riding at 95%, safely, in control, with no panic. Let's make it easy and we'll run at a 2:02 minute lap pace, nothing too fast. I promise not to touch the rear brake. You may run a brand new set of tires of any type. I'll use a set of slicks with 6 track days on them.

20 laps is only 60 miles and will only take a little over 40 minutes. 15 corners per lap means 300 maximum braking situations. It will be a good test to see who needs the refresher course. Sound good to you?
