For years my brother rode a 50-something Panhead bobber with no front brake, a foot clutch, and no linkage on the hand shifter (had to reach under your left thigh to shift). Think about it...he had to use his left foot for the clutch and right foot for the brake, so he had to knock it out of gear and coast to a stop making sure he leaned to the left so his right foot could stay on the brake. I called it the death trap, but he was so smooth about it that you would never notice anything, .
Now thats a rider!!!!!! Dam!

I honestly don't use my front brake that much... but when I do need it, I'm glad it's there.
Indian Larry primarily ran without a front brake... and there are tons of others that do it. to each his own.
ps if you're running behind me without a front brake, could you give me a little more room... thanks.
