I've been too Daytona 200 race, very cool experience I'm happy it found someone to keep race going. My fav spot was the pit, very cool to watch bikes get prepped and riders and can't forget umbrella girls!!! Lol

This is the best advice out here IMO. every situation is different and every solution is varied. I think I'm a safe rider, but I'll there are times I haven't left a safe distance. I think we've all done that.
However, practicing emergency braking is the key to knowing the point at which your brakes start to lock up. Every spring that is one of the first drills I do to remind myself and shake out the cobwebs. Also at least once a month I practice again.
Find an out of the way parking lot and get up to about 25mph and brake both front and back with a progressively stronger pull. Keep it straight incase you do lock up. If you do lock up, just ride it out and maintain brake pressure. Now you know where the lock up point is. Do it again at 35mph and then 45 mph. If you have a buddy we usually stand to the side and then raise an arm to indicate when to emergency brake. Doing it on your own tends to have you anticipate the emergency braking start.
The more you practice, the more your muscles will remember and react in the same way when you need it. This is saved me on NUMEROUS occasions.
Also remember the 12 second scan ahead rule.
The good news is you'll remember your gear next time. Not sure about you, but I'd rather sweat than ruin this perfectly good looking Adnois-like body. I'm just too damn pretty.
very good advice, i was wondering if this hot weather affects braking? i've noticed the past couple hot days i locked up easier but i was braking a little stronger but nothing out of the ordinary. also the flat spot on worn 180 or 190 tires in the middle probably increases tire contact but how is braking affected? mine are worn in the middle and it feels like sliding right on it wearing the middle down more. what compound tires are made out of have better braking power? i have a medium compound that have good mileage use on them. 2 yrs. and the middle is just getting worn down.

the tires are a big part in stopping so good tires good stopping power. i know guys who ride with belts in the tire showing and still stop a little. some tires flatten out and the front tire flattens but thats wear and tire companies know this.
-
same thing happened to me. my bike was under a truck that was lifted when it was all over. this guy though def stopped too soon but one look at my back tire and everyone would have said it was my almost bald tire. anyways i don't even look at my speed anymore my eyes are up front and always scanning the road. ride safe or ride safer anything could happen at anytime
