I should've said......Never,ever, use the front brake while you're going at walking pace with the bars turned. The bike will go down every time. That's the one time you use back brake only.
Yup, you will likely go down. For a complete explaination of front end geometry you can find it in Proficient Motorcycling. David Hough writes a very informative chapter on the effects of speed, cornering and braking.
