Also probably true
And I would just hit the stoppers as hard as I can.
The act of "laying it down" would involve sliding the rear end out and low siding. In order to do that you have to lock up the rear wheel, turn the bars and tuck the bike towards the pavement.
On my new HD with ABS this is probably going to be impossible. You can't lock up the wheels. Lord knows I've tried... just ask Marko! Damn near did a stoppie in the rain in PA. He looked at me like WTF I just told him I was trying to test the ABS. LOL
