When did you last practice emergency braking

[Fatjim]

Not for a while, but it's prepared as an excuse for when the rapa natives complain about the noise of me practicing wheelies

Most days commuting there is some twat who decides to test my braking

Ditto .....

Us Kendogs went to the local test strip (dressmart carpark) last Saturday morning and tested our braking on Uncle B's suggestion. Very interesting, though more practice is needed and I'm sure if out in an emergency situation I would jump on the brakes harder and probably lock it all up and crap off. Oh well, at least I can say I practcied!
Will attempt to go down at least once a month to practice braking and U turns. Anyone wanna join us is welcome.

Timely reminder! Had to do an emergency brake last time I did the Waipu loop! Was too busy watching BusaPete et al and didn't notice the T-intersection! Think I nearly did a "stoppie"! Showed me the old girl has still got very good brakes! When was the last time anyone bled their brakesand cahnged the fluid? Should do it annually or whenever they start feeling a bit spongy.

Usually test once a day. Not allways down to zero sometimes I practice the first part sometimes the last.
The other week i decided to do this coming off the motorway, it was a bit wet and i was still not 100% with the new bikes brakes.

Locking the front at 110 on the motorway off ramp is almost a brown rendering experience.

The next possible opportunity I took myself down to porrirua railway station cp and started from scratch (20kmph) with my braking. Working up to 100km/h I found a couple of puddles and some loose stuff by way of a challenge.

Yeah... had a couple of bad experiences with locking up the rear , once on a 50cc scooter, and once on the bike... I don't use my rear brakes anymore, just engine breaking and feathering the front usually.

Had a car pull into my lane just yesterday, which required an e-brake from about 60kph in the wet... hairy...

Surprising thing is, I wasn't even pissed off... have learnt to take it s just one of the realities of biking... Oh well...

eerrr i practised about an hour ago... some pillock in a box on a cell phone

That sounds like bad practice. Shouldn't you be practicing feathering the back brake more often too so as to avoid stamping on it in fright.
The bike will stop quicker with a little rear bake applied too than with using front and engine braking alone.
I have adjusted my rear brake pedal position down a bit so as when i do use it, it takes more effort to lock up.
Between that and spending time and effort training my foot to press the thing nicely instead of jumping on it in fright, I haven't locked it up unintentionally for ages.
