Seeing the course at 40mph highlights just how many obstacles and dangers you miss going flat out. Glenn has the right mentality for this I think. I remember his NW200, 100% commitment. Love your teeth Hollywood John! Best of luck to all riders, hope Davo Johnson does well and all the best to Bruce Anstey, maybe another Classic TT in '22.

I get that "brake when I feel it" comment. Though I was never near John's level, I did tend to only have a "braking mark" on the main straight, or other braking straight into a tight corner places. Best way I could put it is i braked when I had to to get the angle right. Maybe that doesn't make sense to others, but it worked in my brain, and I almost never got out braked.

Us 50 yr olds can't get used to wearing seat belts in the back. I'm so used to front seat belts (my dad installed them in the front of his '56 Morris Minor in the 70s) that it feels unsafe to not wear one, but back seat is the exact opposite for me.

@bennettsbikesocial2 жыл бұрын
Hi Phil, thanks for the question. Instead of using your right foot to push down on a lever traditionally (and obviously, given that it's your right foot!) in front of the right-side foot peg, some racers prefer to push a lever situated underneath the left-side handlebar, with their thumb. Others use a bicycle style pull lever on the left-side handlebar. Mainly it's there to control the amount of wheelie or even in short cirrcuit racing, the rider can apply plenty of throttle mid-corner but control the application by feathering the rear brake lever. Hope that helps. Thanks, Michael
