There is a lot of misunderstanding about the technique of trail braking; specifically people seem to be either for using trail braking, or...
We often hear people say that you have to go "Slow to go fast." (I say it too)
What does this mean to you? Have you implemented this, or tried to implement this strategy in your riding at all?

For those of you that have taken your bikes to the track for either a track day or track riding school. Did you find that you afterwards you rode more aggressively on the street, less aggressively on the street or the same. Why do you think that was?
Misti
Do you guys think that new riders should hit a regular track day first (in order to check out the track and get an idea of track riding) before taking a riding school or should they do it the other way around? Why?

Misti
So, I already asked what the hardest riding technique to master was..... So let's see what you guys thing is the easiest riding technique to master. What do you feel was easy to learn and why?
Cheers

Hey Ladies,
Just wondering what you each find is the hardest motorcycle riding technique, or part of riding, to master? Does it have to do with cornering, shifting, throttle control, body position? What do you find is a hard technique to get right?
