Default Re: Brakes! - Train your brain! - Teaching granny to suck eggs!

I've been on tons of rideouts and watched almost everybody go round tight corners at speed where they had no way of stopping in the distance they can see, great in theory, just isn't practical on a lot of hilly tight corners.

I've seen riders on here fly round blind corners and would have no chance of stopping if there was something immediately in their path.

I was using my satnav to read corners for me in france as it was impossible to read them normally or you'd go round them at 20 mph, i would've had no chance of stopping on some of them had something been in my path, as it happens I knew the roads generally were empty so risk was low.
