Click the kill switch on accident at 60, guaranteed to lock up the rear.

You had to be in neutral or you were in two gears at the same time and it would kill the engine. Scary stuff when if goes like that.

Would it have been a good idea to try the clutch? Once the rear tire locks up, you are supposed to keep it that way until you stop.
