I am in with Raux. I use the rear a lot due to dirt time. Natural reaction. My Dad, who has been riding for the last 70 years (he's 84) says to ALWAYS be ready to apply both breaks. As for downshifting, I will pull the clutch, spring the throttle, drop into a lower gear and let those Termi's sing out to everyone around me as I approach the slow down! I enjoy watching the unsuspecting jump in surprise of that belly growl!
Cannot beat it...

Right? I mean, the sign says "tunnel," but it might as well say "Downshift, but maintain speed."

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.
