I never need to brake as hard as I do on the track on the street. You just don't leave yourself with any room for error in case you come up on a road hazard if your front end is almost bottomed out braking, you know? I'd say I ride around 80% on the streets during spirited rides.

Well I went past 80% trying to keep up with bikes pushing 60 more HP. But I know the limits pretty well and never felt uncomfortable in my pace just my technique...
