Fingers on brake?

Thats what steers me away from A* gloves, the finger bridge. I brake with my middle two fingers and keep the pinky and pointer on the throttle.

I had this discussion with my MSF instructor... they teach 4 because on many bikes... you need to grab a fist full of brake to stop quickly... where as on a sport bike... with the powerful brakes they have... 2 is more than enough for many to stop just as quick.

I use 2 and I haven't been to any class. I know that I feel more comfortable with 2 fingers covering the brake in case I need them. 4 Fingers will like over kill and less control of the throttle. But hey, that just me.
