Braking technique check if you please

I know if we really scrub off speed too quickly that the rear of the bike can lighten and dance a little underneath you.
We've seen the GP bikes do it all the time.

Well yesterday while exiting the highway in a mmmmm rather hurried fashion. Coming down from 80mph to say 35 to make the exit ramp entry I had the rear wiggle markedly. Not stepping out , but definitly the " weight shift wiggle and boogie woogie".

So was I just being a dopey **** and scrubbing speed way to quickly...or might I need to readjust the rear Ollie?

Oh circumstances had me scrubbing off the speed in an estimated distance of maybe 10 bike lengths. maybe...thats a big guess

All comments accepted, smart azz or otherwise.
