  1. Yeah, you need to get to the Level where the guru‘s initials are branded on your groin, and you have „personal sessions“ with him :)

    That level of education is beyond my need.
     
  3. Obviously you will never find trailbraking nirvana.

    Time for your financial contribution!

    I can brake into a corner with my knee down and the rear wheel in the air. I'm 58 years old, don't race and don't ride on the street.
    What can anyone teach me about braking for which I'll have a use?

    lets say someone wants to get into racing(CVMA/WERA etc) after numerous trackdays. What school should he pick? Based in Socal.

    That was a me thing back in'02. It was just happenstance, nothing planned, reported to me by cornerworkers as I had no idea it was occurring. God bless Ducati.
    Willfully doing that today would be pure exhibitionism...I prefer to live.

    Before the days of catch phrases, before "trail Braking" was a word that even existed, the fast local guys told you to "Go in deeper/hotter, & brake harder" ..... doing so, resulted in you staying on the brakes into the corner and bleeding them towards apex/etc.

    This stuff should come naturally, I find it insane the concept has to be 'taught'. Mastering it, yes, requires skill/practice, but Every motorcyclist is lightly trailbraking every time they turn at an intersection/street, or pull into your driveway, w/out even realizing it. Trailbraking to some degree is as common as twisting the throttle or working the clutch.
