If you think about it - the link makes sense from the viewpoint of a
panic situation - say your GL has cruise control and your hand is off
the right grip for some reason - then you need to make a quick stop -
and jam on the rear brake - in that situation you would want all the
braking power, but you can't get to the proper control fast enough.
Just a thought.
I also think those that are used to cars would have a
tendancy to go for the peddle first until they get used to a bike. On
the other hand, I'd hope that they wouldn't start on a GL!
