I finally read this article since downloading it a couple years ago. It really makes sense and probably explains why the right side of my front tire gets shredded worse than the left side.

Something for me to try out on the next ride! Yall are probably already doing this stuff.

Now that you know what trail braking is, listen to what other people think it is when they describe it. You'll get a chuckle - it seems there are more different descriptions than you can imagine.

Yeah, somewhere I read that it consisted of skidding the rear tire with the brake so it would slide in a turn to make it turn quicker.

Hi Guys, I thinkI'm back in the loop! Been cold in Md this winter but have gotten in a few rides on nice days, so many projects since full retirement I haven't been in Nc as much as I'd like, but should change soon. Last trip to Nc it rained for 3 days straight and then it was 20 degrees, Gary and I rode around in the car for three days and he ended up buying a bike...any way comments on trail braking, works especially well on our heavier sport touring bikes to settle the suspension and control of corner entry speed..also works great for tight turns at low speed..works in your sports car also if you like to DRIVE your cage, will note that works best on rear drive real cars, probably no need on your preius golf cart, Ha Ha!! Riding to Pa tomorrow for a breakfast meeting with some MSTA guys, supposed to be 50 degrees..since last posting I hit a deer in Wva, was on my RT, didn't go down and rode it home, deer hits don't get better than that..stqay safe see you all in a few weeks, Clyde

Great--we're waiting for ya!
