  1. I was watching one of the MotoGP races this year(or last year 2003), and they had a camera mounted so as to view the riders throttle hand. I can't remember the rider, but it showed a sequence where the bike was coming into a turn and the rider was leaning the bike over, and it looked like the guy was braking way into the the turn and progressively easing off the brakes. Thats what I thought trail braking was. It almost seemed as though the rider had a proportional relationship in his head between lean angle and brake application. I was surprised at how far into the turn that he finally let off the brakes.
  2. By far my favorite is Colin Edwards. I've followed his career since he signed with Honda in WSBK. He has a great forum on his site that he contributes to often. The Imola races were just awesome.
  3. Qutoe: _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the way, Ballistic is insanely fast, and typically does not trail brake. He instead finishes his braking in a straight line (presumable right to the limit of traction), then turns the bike extremely quickly (again, presumably at the limit of traction). This technique works very well for him as he just crushed the all time lap record at Streets of Willow Springs on (I think) a production 636 with DOT tires. I hope you get a chance to ride with him some time ? it is a real treat to watch ? so long as you can keep him in view (which is no small task). Steve ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ I watched him go around that track when I was at the school, and I was speechless.
  4. Edwards is my fav, but it would be cool to see Rossi win it. It would prove alot.
