Question Slow Stand ups without using rear brake??

Just wondering how slow you can go on a stand up without using the rear brake. I pick mine up at 35-40mph, but still not hitting the bp, so I end up coming down at 80-90mph Is it possible to ride it at around 60mph for a good ways or is that just to slow without using some braking?

It's possible to ride for miles at any speed without braking. But the slower you go, the more tiring it would be. It's possible to slow a wheelie down if your really good!

It depends on your gearing. You do not necessarly need the rear back to roll out slow 12's. Alot of people at first ride out their rear brake thinking that is what makes you go slow( I know I did). What they are doing is over heating their brake fluid which causes massive brake fade. Once you get the hang of the balance point feeling that is when you start to rock 5-15mph weelies without the rear brake. Now if you are trying to knock out no throttle handers or no hand 12's you just crank the idle up to 2,500-3,000rpms and then gently tap the rear brake every now and then.

A bit of topic.....but I am bored at work .
