The video is for cars and trucks, but the message applies to bikes as well.

Panic stopping.

Good info Speedman.

I don't really understand the tests. The longer stopping seems to be indicative of the driver applying the brakes to just before the skid point. But how can the driver know if he's accurate?

I agree that tires should be looked at very carefully and it's often one of the most overlooked maintenance items on our bikes and cages.

I would like to know the volume of water that can be displaced by a new tire as compared to a 4/32nds tire and a 2/32nds tire.
