How do you practise emergency braking?

[Desert Eagle]

Found this article pretty interesting and easy to read, apparently your bike stops really well if you have a large box filled with some kind of black magic on your back...

If you're not one to look at words and read numbers, then its all summed up for you from page 13 onwards:

I practiced my emergency braking lots on a track day...Still have the pics of my tyres to prove it!

I practice it at Nass but today i did it down my road, used trees and cars as markers, went to 50km/h and practiced, also did U-turns and slow speed maneuvers and straight line speed. gave the neighbors something to watch

on the motorway going to work everyday, charging in to the back of the cages and braking in the last moment.

You can practice emergency breaking in a car park or even your drive way?

The feeling is the same at 20MPH as it as at 120MPH, the wheel will lock up the same and the reaction to your chassis/bike will be the same!!!!!! just at a slower speed or a faster speed depending on the speed travelling when the lock up occurs

btw, before rocks start flying in my direction, this called humor

When those annoying fellas, who are always looking for trouble, point their speed guns at me

My drill, on a quiet road, is to stop from 100kmh in less than two white road markers. Now, thanks to Mr Suzuki's most excellent ABS, I can do this comfortably, wet or dry.

I've paid a small crew of people lacking a moral compass to abduct and throw kindergarten children out in front of me at random intervals.

Reminds me of what my dad told me about his bike licence test. Apparently the instructor got him to test his emergency braking by getting him to ride around a course and then jumping out of the bushes in front of him part way around!

ABS is amazing to use, I now confidently grab a fistfull on the gravel...with twin Brembos and no worries. However I am worried what it will do to my skills when I get back on a non ABS bike.

You don't brake for the kids in my street. They would have the bike stripped before I could get a foot down. Their is not a lot of grip on them though so you have to run them over smoothly to avoid a loss of traction or lock up.

Just like jumping from a manual to an auto & back. You only do it once.
