Braking during cornering

[BillyIndiana]

My standard braking answer still applies here. Front brake is for power and back brake is for control. Also unless you practice something it is worthless in a real life situation.

On those rare occasions that I misjudge a corner (ya right) I find more counter steer and power are normally the answer. Most of us do not push the bikes to their full potential.

I call it the pucker factor.

Or maybe not - I've just sat and watched this again. After a while I go MEGO (My Eyes Glaze Over) - I ride fastish - but geez.

Had to go take a heart pill after watching that.

Having been there twice , even the video don't do the speed justice . You should try taking a photograph of them roadside?

Having had press passes to the infields at LeMans and Brands Hatch etc and done some Pro-work - I can say that catching them on film is doable.
But in the dappled areas of sun/shade - my brain can't keep up with the info flow of that dashcam.
172 mph is 77metres/s-ish
Even with a good 60fps camera it's more than 1 metre per frame.

Exactly ! Posted on a slow corner , no problem . But full chat down Bray hill and believe me , with a cheap camera , it's not easy !

Ah - I cheated - I had fast lenses and good cameras.

Maths is good. It calms me. So does sharpening knives. And I'm watching the flames in the hearth.

Power on with rear brake finess = scrubbing speed

The do not brake in a corner is what we teach the novice riders(MSF basic course) more experienced riders can and usually do brake in the curves (trail braking), trailing off your brakes in a curve and using a delayed apex lets you enter and exit faster but if not comfortable doing it stick with the safe and solid advice of get your braking done before the curve.
