Braking early...

[agnes]

Just a question of wonder really, my ride style is a little mad to say the least, but I always brake early/even if not needed to let others know I am rolling off the throttle a little.

But my main gripe is that I brake very early when coming to lights, as in, I will brake then realise I am rolling for another 100 yards before the lights, anyone else do this? Brake earlier and easier when on the commute or is it death braking 24/7?

When I am on a mad moment I still brake earlier, hate late braking.

Thanks for the reply mate, I feel like I have confidence but guess not. I will think more about it next time I am out and about on her.

I do a lot of lifesavers and I knew the porche was behind me having a little fun, I indicated when I was pulling into the right lane.

Got 2 years experiance, been riding a 748 for 2 years lol. I know the roads around reading like the back of my hand and the traffic flow. It's just the breaking, don't forget, you guys are seeing from the front wheel, not my head so can't see what I am seeing.

If the early braking is due to confidence then obviously I have some sort of subconscious issue to resolve. I am thankful guys A better rider is a safer rider.

edit: just to add, had 2 accidents, one was my fault, surfing is not clever... and the second, was rear ended by a bmw when i was stationary at some lights. The other reason for me giving it the beans in the vid is because i was only out for a test and was trying to sort cam out before traffic got bad.

I thought that road looked familiar. If your in Reading hit me up if you want to ride out.

Just remember, smooth is fast, fast is smooth. Also knowing Reading traffic I would take it easier on the weaving in and out, some idiot will knock you off.

That would be great mate, email is in trust

Sorry chaps, removed the vid, had date and time stamp on it.

Was nothing special, me just rushing in traffic to get home to test camera. Again, thanks for all the reply's guys. Had a little ride last night and took into account where I was braking and instead of braking before I should, I just rolled off the throttle until I got to the braking point. Was odd at first but it makes sense now. Guess I just had a bad habbit.

As I was saying to my mate last night, I always thought enter a corner slowly and come out fast was right, but guess not. Just enter a little faster lol.
