Gary, Thanks for the video recommendation. Watched it last night and started implimenting some of the technique today while riding. Much of it seemed intuitive as I have riden mountain bikes for years and on a bicycle the right hand lever is for the rear brake. In mountain biking you are on the rear brake much more (read often) than on a motorcycle and many riders including myself keep first 2 fingers on it almost always. In fact I had to unlearn that in the motorcycle basic rider course. So now it's good to know too that it's sometimes ok.

I did notice an immediate improvement in handling on the twisty hillside road to the marina this evening.
