I raced Formula Singles in the 80's. I also rode downhill MB and I reversed the front brake-as you said muscle memory.

I recently took up riding a bicycle for exercise but I don't get into critical braking situations that much .

I gave up MC racing and all MC's after a broken neck at Sears Point '86.
