See, this is wrong, never lock uo the brakes on a car, it looses traction. The old car chase movies are proof. Same could be said fir a bike, but the dynamics a different. If the brakes are setup proper, I think a panic stop on a bike where it may stoo faster is a handfull of rear brake and then half to half and a quater of front brake- which s sorta how cars work.
