Default A taildragger incident today

It seems to me, when I am flying my C140, that when landing the main
wheels touch down first, just like a tricyle geared airplane.

So we all land (except for those who like to touch the nose wheel
first) basically the same way.

It looks like the roll out is the only difference.

Taildragger pilots have my sincere respect, too ...
From what I've heard, the biggest mistake one can make is to believe
they've "mastered" it.
