Well, good to hear that there are options available to make the rear brake more accessable. My wreck was largely a compilation of rookie mistakes caused by a car getting within inches of my rear tire, I got nervous, and things spiraled downward from there. A big part of the reason that I went down is the fact that I grebbed a hand full of front brake.....never had a chance. I think if the rear brake were more accessable, I would be more inclined to use it. I know that an experienced rider would have been able to get the bike stopped and remained on two wheels. Live and learn, I guess. I am very lucky that the bike is largely fixable. The parts that were damaged are the cheap stuff. Thanks for the constructive comments.
