45 years of racing motorcycles.
You?
The whole idea of trail braking is to increase the traction of the front wheel.
Why waste that traction with brakes that could come from the rear?
I drag the rear for tight low speed turns. That's not the same thing is it? I'm talking very low speed.
Oh jeeesh.Everyone just post up your trackday lap times so we can pick a winner.
I was joking about seeing anyones "trackday" rimes.Trackday times mean squat.Podiums are where it's at.Forum chit chat is worth the same.When a rider gets promoted by his sponsors,then there is a reason to listen.Mine are embarrassingly bad lol

I do actually think it'd be beneficial to know the skill level of a rider when they are giving advice. In competitive video games such as StarCraft 2 and Overwatch, the posters rankings are showed. It would be completely asinine to take the complaining, whining, or advice from a Bronze player seriously compared to that of someone in Diamond, Master, or Grandmaster.
so you are allowed to post pics of your national gold medals only....Podiums are where it's at.
On my 5th year of riding I was wrecking old geezers with 45 years of experience on track.
On my 9th of riding, I got destroyed by some French dude with 3 years of experience on track.
Years of experience mean absolutely nothing in anything. You can spend 45 years making the same mistakes and not realizing your blindspots with any activity involving a high skill ceiling.
Here's an idea: you, Lightcycle, and I hit up a race track and see who's faster. I have a feeling the answer will be Lightcycle >>> Me >>>>>>>>>>>>> you.
P.S. My bike doesn't work right now though so gimme a few months lol
