Always thought you weren't meant to use either of the brakes while cornering.. Not that it stops me, rear brakes get most of their use on corners.. Stops me throwing the bike too far over onto of oil from my nicely broken forks :evil: :lol:

Looking very nice there Pete, I really like it :D

Sounds like someone is ready for the "Trail Braking" chat....lol

Though really is there a riding section to post something like that if I wrote one up?
Loud pipes don't save lives, knowing how to ride your bike will save your life.

Well 'always' is the wrong word. I do it anyway, but I did it in my lessons and my instructor screamed at me for it. The original riding school I went to was absolute sh1t.. I got told you shouldn't brake unless the bike is upright. Then again I got taught many things by them. Such as pulling the clutch in when you start breaking instead of using the engine.

Now that is a something we don't have. Riding Skills Techniques could be a new topic section. :think: We could even have a how to wheelie :lol: I've heard that question asked so many times now. As it is now I would suggest Bike Chat as being the most appropriate place for it.
