Maybe going on an advance rider course can also be the difference on braking techniques.
I suppose all those hours i spent training in the MOT riding bikes does not count, and the refresher courses the Police made me do were also a waste of time. Riding a bike for 6 years working in Orkland traffic and never having an incident must be testament to this. 😀I actually don't use the brakes much unless having a yahoo, and to prove this have had the brake pads in the for 7 years on this brake mod. 👿and I totally agree with you re rider training. All time spent upskilling is a positive and people that think going out for a ride ad not crashing is a good ride. To me this does not come into the equation.
