This article is really great for any rider of any level that just wants to freshen up on braking techniques. My favorite part of the article is that it puts braking in a really interesting perspective. That is if you're traveling at 55 mph you are traveling at 81 feet per SECOND. So, if you work on drills that improve your reaction time, and you can improve your time by one full second, you will be able to stop your bike 7 to 8 car lengths SOONER than someone else with the exact same bike and reaction times just one second longer. Pretty crazy stuff, and probably why the Moto GP guys are so good.
