thanks - some good reading in there

i'm off down to the shops on the bike which is a 25km return trip of twisties (open country) and i am going to try NOT using my brakes and only using a couple of gears - just to see how it goes

will report results...

[chewie]

only used the brakes once out on the open road at a stop sign, stayed in 4 and 5th mostly at 80 - 120kph

found i had more time to be where i wanted to be and plenty of opportunity to get on the gas earlier coming out of the corners whereas i normally have to just hold the speed i have started with and hope it was right

bloody good that 3rd hyperlink

that'll be my no braking ride from now on

cheers pdonnell

Yea, that no braking excercise really puckered my O-ring around Laguna Seca. Specifically the corkscrew where you hit the crest and drop the bike over to enter the screw. yeeeehawww....
