I have so much Titaniun in my left leg that sometimes it don't want to work so good. I have to put the right leg down at a stop many/most times which DOES a lot of times does cause me some problems by using the front brake too much. I really have to pay attention at the traffic lights and such.

And I'm a Bugs Bunny person myself. ...Don't care too much for Daffy or Donald.

What problems do you run into finishing the stop with the front brake? By that point, I'm going so slow, there really isn't anything that would go wrong - even if there were sand or something.

Bugs wasn't a choice. If we get to pick off the list, I'd rather go with Speedy Gonzales or Go Go Gophers.

If I use too much front brake, and the bars get turned a tiny bit too much one way or the other, the bike wants to lean over. The Ultra is probably a bit too heavy for me these days too, but the other bikes are so uncomfortable for me to ride I just choose to pay the extra attention and ride the bigger bike.

Go Go Gophers =
Speedy Gonzales = Not so much.
