  1. Keith; Once again you have taken a muddled up subject and put your eloquent, poingant hand to it. Congratulations. Well done. One of these days I'd love to see what you have to say about taking roadracing skills to the sport of Supermoto... a home for us old guys getting away from superbikes. Kurt
  2. Hey Keith; Great little article... I can't believe after all these years, it still seems like a new excercise. It just goes to show how the sport is growing. Anyway, when I got re-licensed through the MRA they had their school and did the no-brake drill. They didn't really enforce it and the instructor went way faster than I could imagine being comfortable going so I "felt" like I had to overaccelerate the straights to keep him in my grasp -- then brake to make the corner. I corner-worked one of your schools a couple years after that and made up my mind to participate fully. What an eye-opener! In just one turn, I was entering the corner 18MPH faster on my R1 Streetbike with out brakes than with brakes and gear changes. During the No-brakes drill, I was able to firmly plant the knee down and truly concentrate on the tires and suspension. As soon as we went to regular track day riding, I again sensed my corner speed and checked the speedo.... the no-brake drill let me confidently increase my speeds during normal track day riding. Kurt
