In episode 9 of MCrider I show you two techniques for stopping a motorcycle quickly in a curve. In episode 8 I discussed how this technique and practicing it saved me from a serious motorcycle accident. This time I show you how to practice stopping a motorcycle in a curve with parking lot examples of how I practice the technique.
In addition to showing you these two techniques we discuss tire traction and how it is affected by going through corners on a motorcycle.
It is important to use smooth braking techniques in these exercises. If you need tips on being smooth with the throttle and brakes refer back to Techniques to improve your smoothness in Episode 3. Also, refer to Episode 5 for proper wrist position, this is critical when performing quick stops.
