Close to home I have 2 double apex corners & a triple apex corner, they all have undulations & variations in camber, the triple apex has a suspension battering compression just as you line up for the exit if your pressing on. If your following a campervan it just makes your suspension wallow & throws you off line if your caught by surprise.

Never come across the technique for corners like this in "how to" vids & books. What I've learned from them has helped me understand the dynamics & draw my own conclusions.

So I guess I'm saying use what you learn to become wiser not dogmatic. Or perhaps never stop learning is a better way to put it.


As far as the bad road surface goes it's as simple as slow down to a speed where you can manage it. (I say you because it all depends on your level of skill).

As far as multiple apexs goes, read the books again, they are covered in there.

Twist and other books like it are based on how to ride near the limit of grip at a track, you have to slow down to account for the crappy surface and moving obstacles we all need to deal with on the road, the techniques applied without the speed is safe on the road though.
