Trail braking lightly on the road is always useful. You don't have to be going crazy fast for it to be a benefit. Implying you should not use it at all is plain wrong.
Thanks for watching. The intent of the video was not to completely rule trail braking out, as I agree it is an useful skill and can definitely help in many areas. My intention was to bring to light the reasons trail braking may/may not be a chosen frequent style due to what the road conditions offer and how said conditions may impact trail braking in an adverse manner. All in all it is a good skill to have. Thank you for your feedback and keep the rubber side down. Twinkle twinkle.
Anyone who's been riding for longer than a decade will tell you they trailbrake..I rarely even use my rear brakes..I'll replace my front pads twice before my rear needs replaced..
I can appreciate that. With the different groups I ride, all of the riders are north of 10 years experience. The some trailbrake and some don’t. The ones who do trailbrake are predominately those who frequent the track, a few enjoy developing the skill, while others don’t trailbrake due to understanding the concept and not trusting the condition of the roads to always be accepting while transiting corners that turn blind at certain speeds. Thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching. Keep the rubber side down. Twinkle twinkle.
I concluded the same. I’m not going anywhere fast enough to justify doing anything other than engine braking or light brakes before the corner. Y’all are nuts.
It’s all fun and games until you get that unexpected rebound and then you’re stuck trying to not lose control. Thanks for watching and keep the rubber side down. Twinkle twinkle!!
Before I ever heard the term "Trail Braking" I thought that what is now called trail breaking was the normal way you dealt with cornering, ESPECIALLY in blind corners. I'm not sure how this became some sort of "NEW" idea or "track only" idea. I had always assumed it's what everybody did as part of riding a motorcycle.
In my opinion, it is a common practice and skill among motorcyclists especially seasoned motorcyclists. Similar to operating an automobile- one normally brakes into a turn. The caveat is having two less wheels, on a bike, can definitely pose some challenges to the rider if one encounters less smooth pavement and the rider isn’t aware of what’s exactly going on with the bike sure trail braking. Thanks for watching and your feedback. Keep the rubber side down. Twinkle twinkle.

I trail brake into any unknown corner especially since my Harley has horrendous lean angles
