If you are into motorbikes and you spend any time on YouTube you’ll have watched a video or two on the subject of trail braking when riding on public roads.
The creators of these videos are often impressive communicators, but they present their case with the zeal of a tele-evangelist or an infomercial pitch-man. They have decreed that trail braking is the greatest safety enhancement since the invention of ABS and if you are not trail braking then you are a lesser rider, you’re not in control of your bike, you’re an accident waiting to happen. Exactly what road based trail braking involves seems to be a up for debate. Is anybody else unimpressed?
