Ghats are no place for rear brakes. Just to avoid rear braking on places like ghats and tracks I keep the balls of my feet on the footpegs to avoid any instinctive rear braking.
Thanks for the thread csgup1, lot of the riders have to break away from the braking rules that have been thrusted upon us in India. This thread would help lot of bikers in improve their braking.

You should always ride with balls of your feet on the pegs. Definitely helps weight distribution and you avoid dragging toes which can be dangerous
