Who cares if it agrees with MSF or code? (more accepted is a relative term) Does that mean the physics is wrong? No it means the people writing books and passing laws think you should do it their way. Weighting the front end by using your brakes DOES mean more traction on the tire that is trying to change your direction...but hey, you ride how you want to.

this is trail braking 101 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail_braking

no, I'm suggesting braking with both front and rear, more with rear, shifting more weight (and traction) to the tire that is working on changing your direction of travel. Once you hit the apex, you have some options.I'm just suggesting that you use all of the tools you have at your disposal, brake, throttle, lean angle, and not stick to some sort of draconian law that says immediately let go of your brakes unless you're straight up and down....

sort of... based on how you distribute the weight of the bike (using the brakes or the throttle) you can add more grip to one of the tires by removing grip from another... Why not? the sooner you grasp the concept the more time you have to practice... it's one less "bad habit" that you have to unlearn.I'm definitely not suggesting she go full bore into a corner and jam the brakes at the apex... What I'm suggesting is that she use the brakes properly, regardless of whether her wheels are straight or not.

I guess my point was that if you are braking, and you start to turn, you don't just let go of the brakes because your wheels aren't straight...keep braking until you are happy with your speed. Example: If you come into a corner too fast, and just let go of the brake because your wheels aren't straight, you're going to go wide. If it's a right turn, there could be a cement truck in the area of you going too wide...

i'm good with whenever

I don't like that advice from jack... When approaching a turn, you should use your brakes until you are happy with your speed, regardless of where you are... just keep your inputs as smooth as possible.

I think you've been hanging around pauly too much

are you a doctor?

So if romney is going to cut taxes across the board, but make sure that rich people don't get their taxes lowered....why cut taxes across the board?

yeah, still dealing with the foxcon strike... supply/demand I wouldn't hesistate, ebay it now, get your money faster, just in case foxcon gets super efficient and starts filling orders faster than expected.

gazelle is offering 370 for them

*whistles* that's pricey... glws

I fill up the tank, drop in some stabilizer, ride the bike for my last ride of the year, top off the tank and add stabilizer, prop up on center stand, cover, and then replace all the stuff I want to replace in the spring.

Our friend Armith got married yesterday. That is all. Congrats to Kevin And Emily

Bahama breeze probably woulda been my choice, but he ended up coming tonight instead

really dude?

that constitution was witten in the 1700's

Wait wait wait... I think you misunderstand, unlike you, she has a bike, so she doesn't want tips on how to ride on the back..... that's you...

yeah, nobody should legally own such an ugly bike that is so obviously designed to be a rolling phallus.. the headlight has a reservoir tip...

clearly this is not a safe place for deer to cross.
