I hustled the wife our of the house yesterday so I could immerse myself in (what she calls) my "porn" - ie the kzrider site, a dennis kirk catalog, and thunder tv on the speed channel.

On the tv there was a bike show where people were showcasing their rides. One of them had something very cool - a throttle grip that when turned FORWARD worked as the front brake. Has anyone else seen anything like this? I wonder what kind of crazy engineering would be involved in something like that.

Never heard of such a thing but it would make a burnout impossible. I tried to do a really quick search and didn't really find anything on Google.
