Car practice years ago was to slow down through the gears but don't forget few carsback then had servos let alone disc brakes. Current car practice as stated: Gears to go---Brakes to slow. Unfortunately bike gearboxes being sequential don't allow "Block Changing" but engine braking on most 4-stroke bikes is good. To avoid jerky changes leading to possible loss of traction, many riders "blip" the throttle coming down the box -in fact with practice & 2 finger braking you can declutch, change gear &, if needed apply front brake simultaneously Who said men couldn't multitask!? :lol
