    Are you including yourself in that list?



    And no I didn't come flocking to your post rather I was just reading the thread. Also one person cannot flock.

    wait what the hell?

    anyone who has actually ridden a motorcycle knows that isn't how that works. front brake in a corner stands the thing up and shoots you wide!

    covering the front brake in traffic is something I do now unconsciously but its for idiot avoidance. Do you think somewhere someone read about trail braking (again, a different thing entirely) and is confused?

    Best I can tell, Cassina rides a telelever BMW, in which case the normal rules don't apply.
    They don't steepen up under front braking, but you can do pretty much anything you like with one without getting yourself in too much shit.
    Might help explain some of the claptrap.

I admit not to be much into technical riding lingo and I remember once on here I said on real tight bends I have coasted around them due to low gear being too low and second too high and I got attacked for my comment but one poster asked if I clutch slipped which they did not see anything wrong with and I said I did do that but if you think about it though pulling in your clutch and leaving it in will make your bike coast. If there is any riding school and it may even be a motorcycle racing school in NZ that teaches what I and the rideapart.com story says maybe someone will post. I note the heading for the ride apart website story is headed up 10 motorcycle riding skills no one knows or words to that effect. I have yet to read the others myself but simply googled what I did to see if I was the only one in the world doing it.
    Why then did a previous post of yours say you gave the brakes a tap rather than applied increased pressure???. Just for shits and giggles do want to describe your common corner routine including mention of exactly what you do with the brake lever.

    No, you dont have to prove anything to the kb couch trainers im just interested to see if in fact your actually way betterer than we thought, even if your shite at general communication and comprehension

    We're just interested in reading about your cornering technique (both
    left and right corners, preferably). In your own words.

    We didn't say that we were going to immediately rush out and do the
    same.

    Quite happy if you want to add a qualifier in large letters at the start.
    As a warning to the audience.

    Well ?

    Um nup, im pretty sire i underatood the article and can do what is being suggested although road riding it is not generally something i do. My issue is you implying that what you have suggsted you do is similar to what the article is describing. I simply asked you to better articulate what you do so i could see if it was indeed trail braking or something else. To be clear, i wad asking for my own entertainment and not to try and understand so i could copy you.

    Much to the dissapointment of others no doubt, ill take the bait and have one more crack - from the point at which you initiate your braking, do you keep some form of pressure on tbe brakes through the corner, or at least until the apex or the point at which you are ready to accelerate?

What you are trying to ask for is the degree of pressure I apply to my front brakes and sorry I cant coment other than to say light pressure. I dont actually analyse every movement I do when riding like you and what the riding schools recommend as I just go and "Just Do it" as the Nike ad says. Now that you have proof I am not alone in what I do why not do a google search for more proof of it since you find it so entertaining. Maybe you could post on the website I gave reference to get more technical info as they would be more lingo literate than me.
    No the article talks about initiating braking as normal but keeping the brakes on through the corner. Is this what you do? The question is so rertardedly easy to answer, even one of your poos should be able to answer it yet you struggle.

    HOLY FUCK!!!!!

    Or actually in a lot of cases, reducing (ie letting the lever out) after turn in whereas you are telling us you apply the brakes (IE pull the lever in) yet you are convinced what you are doing is the same as the article.

    Out of interest, do you ever use other means of "tightening" your line?

    There's a big difference between grabbing a large handful of front brake and a gentle application of the same.

    But hey, if you feel at home in the big KB circle jerk, don't let me stop you.

    If you slow in a corner it will tend to tighten the line. That's true whether you slow by rolling back the throttle or using either, or both, brakes. As long as you don't spend more than the proverbial dollar.

    Cassina's article is mainly for track use. Tracks are normally grippy and clean, the average country road corner may or may not be clean, it may or may not have good grip. Turning in under hard braking could be a big let down.

    Where the fuck did Cassina advocate hard braking mid-corner?
