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.
[QUOTE=cassina;1131072840]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
[QUOTE=cassina;1131072853]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?
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?

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.
