[QUOTE="afterburn, post: 182623, member: 556"] QS: It is a great concept, and I just wish people would treat it as such. See, this I don't agree with. I am smooth to the extreme. It is the only way to be fast on bikes with limited clearance and crappy suspension. ;) Seriously, I am very smooth. And I never race the straights, instead I use the straights to give slower riders a chance to safely catch up if they start lagging behind. But you will see me use my brakes just about for every turn unless they are the long sweeper types. Trust me, the types of roads I frequent (like the Alps) you don't want to come driving at a leisurely 50mph and attempt to make the turn without brakes. It will definately hurt. Lack of brakes is NOT the indication of 'The Pace'. Lack of brakes is a possible indication of it. Might seem like a minor difference, but it is a major distinction to a lot of those that are 'preaching' it a lot. Its a concept. It's a concept of being smooth and creating a natural flow through the turns, not a concept of minimizing brake use. Brakes have NOTHING to do with 'The Pace'. [/QUOTE]
