i don't get why people are confused about the braking mid corner on a bike being a bad thing. the same rules of physics aply whether you ride a bike or drive a car. get all the braking done before the corner. the last thing you want to do is upset the balance of the bike/car mid corner when pushing the limits. the problem with a bike is that it is damn near impossible to correct a slide. especially on pavement. i am sure that someone whith racing backround could do it, but i am yet to see anyone correct and unintentional side on a street bike.

^I think those are great cars to learn those things in, if you can learn the boundaries of your car in a Suburban, the S would be a walk in the park.

A little trail braking through a corner is fine and dandy but for 99% of people they'd be better off braking first and accelerating out of the turn hard and making their time up there. Simply safer.

Only if he was speeding and it didn't look like he was going that fast. Cop could have checked him for a loud pipe or insurance though. You don't get a ticket for dropping your bike, just sympathy or laughs ...
