stick to your own pace, dont ride with anyone else and stay off the back brake! i only use the front brake, bad habit i know. but using the back on a bend is asking for trouble. after i passes my test centuries ago, i only used the back. gradually, and like yourself, several offs, i realised that i should start using mainly the front. still had a few offs since though, so youre in good company.
Why do you say this bud?
On the approach to a corner I use BOTH brakes, I DONT USE ANY BRAKES ONCE CORNERING but if I had to, it would be gently with the back brake as it overloads the front tyre less...
Infact once cornering the front tyre is heavily loaded already and using the front brake on top of this is very bad advice mate..

:agree wezdavo - that from caretaker is dreadful advice. He even admits himself it's a bad habit!!!!
