    Pace yourself

    A bloody good article here, well worth a read!

    If you use a majority of the front tire's traction for braking and then ask it to provide maximum cornering traction as well, a typical low-side crash will result. Also consider that your motorcycle won't steer as well with the fork fully compressed under braking. If you're constantly fighting the motorcycle while turning, it may be because you're braking too far into the corner. All these problems can be eliminated by setting your entrance speed early, an important component of running the Pace.

    Thanks Bren, that was a good read

    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better

    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    That article was very enlightening for me when it came out originally. I've ridden to those rules ever since, with a couple of necessary omissions, entirely for mental health reasons you understand.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Good stuff. A wee bit of food for thought for a few on here(and elsewhere)
