If you *have* to brake in a corner *only* use engine braking or rear brake, this will tend to pull you into the corner whilst the front brake will put the bike upright and send you wide.

The issue with any form of braking or slowing down in a corner is that the weight gets transferred forward on to the front wheel which forces it to run wide - Twist of the Wrist II illustrated this quite well and helped me to understand what the forces on the wheels were actually doing.

I'm not saying you are wrong in what you are saying, just trying to clear up that little point a bit as its something that really opened my eyes when I first watched TotW last year Your post was in fact very helpful and informative, kudos

Hahaha, maybe so, but I'm a firm believer of being polite towards others - gets you a lot further than the alternative when there is no due reason. More than anything, I posted to make sure that people understand and don't end up coming off their bikes  :eek
