ok, i try to spend some time doing low speed practice under 12 kph, and emerg braking, and proper cornering for higher speeds (30-70kph)
now I have been working on threshold braking on gravel. what is the best way to practice this? I have so far found where my front wheel locks, but my rear wheel is being tricky as i wear sidi vertigo boots and figuring out how much im pressing the lever in is a bit tricky. I tend to either underbrake the rear brake or lock it up. rarely do i get close to the "threshold braking" im looking for on the rear wheel. I will be getting in some time on a DRZ400 on the dirt coming up shortly so ill be working on a bunch of stuff on that.
but what advice can you guys give me?
to keep this simple:
I am sitting on the DRZ400 its early morning I have ALL day to ride it and practice. What are the various things I should be working on and what drills are best to practice those skills. By drills I mean something very specific so I can lay it out when I get out there.
thanks all
