And that would explain why I'm able to pass you the way I do!
Yep. . .enjoy it while you can because it also explains why I'm on this thread. . .so that stops by the end of the season. . .

Now if we could just figured out what that twisty thing is on the bike is for
Every smart ass comment I had was negated by an outside T4 pass by an SV. . .that will also stop by the end of the season. . .

Me neither, not even close, same as you. I just remember the guys at YCRS saying that 1-2% brake for trailing would improve geometry and steering. It's something to work up gradually, methinks. I'm thinking trying to turn in at 50% right off the bat might not be the best plan...
This is more about feel than numbers. The more time you spend doing it the better you get at it. Its amazing when it all starts coming together. Everything slows down and yet your going faster.
I can pop the rear wheel in the air at 10mph with a quick jab of the brakes and yet I can apply the brakes at 160mph and barley get a wiggle. Smooth application is part one of the puzzle. Part two is smooth release until apex. Don't get too hung up on numbers. Its a good way to help explain the process, but its the feel from application that will get you doin it efficiently.

Had a great conversation with Judy & she shared some of the YCRS doctrine. It got me thinking.....At the time I was still riding in the street and started practicing this whole braking "longer & lighter" concept. I'm a rookie to trailing.......I realized I felt I was a good braker cause I could control heavy braking with the rear getting all squirelly. hmmm thats ok I guess, but I started seeing if I could perceive the lightest of braking for a change and realized it made a difference. A difference felt even when turning around a street corner. Those van exercises you can even try them in your car. Loading the front is like a consolidation of mass to a finer point making for easier movement. It's physics, its awesome. Now I just have to commit to taking it to the Apex as Rob said and not get scarred. haha One time I came around t6 tbolt with more speed than I was comfortable with while trailing and froze up on the brakes @ 15% the whole way round the turn lololol I was just waiting to tuck and didn't. That made believe more
A fast guy told me on t5-tbolt he comes round and gets his eyes right on the brake markers(25yards down on the left) for t6 ......all off a sudden a turn I blew almost every time was making much progress. Anyway just wanted to join this very good conversation.
Got off at Lightning t5 bike kinda got rocked (see pic)

Got off at Lightning t5 bike kinda got rocked (see pic)so my first N2 day is in jeopardy now very disappointing, but bikes not as bad as it looks. Yo Vinny I will keep you posted......long post im at work : ) congrats you read a novel

My brother and I were already planning to do the school next year and this just made me look forward to it even more!
To YCRS!!!!
That's funny, thought he was telling Dave he's #1!
