Are you autistic?

Really steve, really... im not the one who cant answer a fuckin question and is trying to draw similarites between mild application of a brake in a corner and trail braking.

At the very least its description of a quick tap of the brakes would indicate very little actual velocity reduction in which case push tbe appropriate bar and rode out of the corner

Whatever - yoive turned onto a roght cunt lately eh. Im judt enjoying some timr in the circle jerk club

[nzspokes]

If you read my post again I said I do it if I slightly overcook a corner

Which if you knew how to ride you wouldnt do.

I this the point you put your foot down?

Should we cast our minds back to the time you tried to blame a crash on a faulty side stand spring?

Has there ever been a time you have not been a retard?

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

You had better brush up on your reading, you aren't making a Hell of a lot of sense. Go back and start again see if you can get it right next time.

Bwaaaahahaha - fuck that was bad eh? Sorry, no excuse just lazy typing on a phone keyboard

The thing that always strikes me - is that there are parts of Cassina's posts, which when given the proper context and proper wording have a tiny sliver of truth.

Which then gives us the following possibilities:

1: Cassina does know what they are talking about, but have such a hard time conveying what they mean in the written medium, that it ends up sounds like Twaddle.

But if this were the case - when someone corrects them surely they would acknowledge the correction graciously.

2: Cassina has heard/read good advise, half remembered it and muddled it up, but is thoroughly convinced their half-remembered version is, in fact, the gospel truth.

However I suspect the reality is simply that Cassina is as per that Cleese Clip

3. Cassina are trolls.

I said I did it and it worked for me. I never said that others should try it. Its how much front brake you apply as to whether what I have said is dangerous or not. You had better not try it as you will likely end up crashing.

you're a fuckwit.

it doesn't work for you. because physics. you fuckwit.

[Akzle]

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?

i think someones mother smoked pcp during pregnancy and has since sustained multiple head injuries, actually.

though i'll give internet points to anyone who posts a video of themself trail braking with two fingers.

My advise to you sport is to perhaps go back to riding school and do a basic braking course rather than do what I do as you will only blame me if you come off. Sounds like the advise and it is advise from the article I posted is over your head too as you would be out there trying it out would you not?

"advice" vs "advise"

Please, look it up.

If what I say is too confusing for you, you now have the article I posted to analyse too. If that is also confusing for you well thats just tough I guess or you are just not advanced enough in riding ability to comprehend.

Is this correct:

1) Cassina is going 100km/h approaching a 65k recommended speed left hand corner.

2) Cassina uses the front brake and rear brake with the throttle completely closed to slow to 65km/h.

3) Cassina leans the bike over to the left and releases both brakes and still has no throttle on.

4) Cassina realises the corner is actually tighter than first thought and needs to tighten her line.

5) Cassina applies a light squeeze on the front brake while still leaning over. This slows her down and tightens the line.

6) Cassina releases the front brake and carries on around the corner until she can see the exit then applies the throttle and stands the bike up.

Or... from step 3

3) cassina leans the bike over to the left releasing the rear brake only, leaving some pressure on front brake.

4) Cassina realises the corner is tighter than she thought and increases the front brake pressure slightly to slow the bike down and tighten her line.

5) Cassina sees the exit of the corner, releases the front brake and begins accelerating as she stands the bike back up.

Which one Cassina? The top scenario or the bottom scenario. You don't have to go into any in-depth answer, just top or bottom, which do you do?

Tell you what - I'll happily do a practical test with you - I'll take my bike out on some twisties with you and to make it interesting, we'll get some articulated trucks travelling in the opposite direction.

We'll both come into a corner a bit hot - You can brake exactly as you have written and I'll brake how I ride (which is, if it's a bit hot - a wee bit of rear brake to bleed speed mid corner and tighten the line, but not too much to risk locking the rear and highsiding it).

The winner (and the one who by extension knows how to ride) is the one that makes it round the corner without getting run over by a Truck.

Any day you want to put into practice that which you've written - let me know.
