Brake. 1...2...3 shifts down and blip the throttle as I ease out the clutch, setting up for the right-hand corner after the straight-away. I counter steer into the turn as I shift weight to the inside peg, letting the bike roll on it's axis as I lightly drag the brakes, trail braking, deep into the corner. In less than a few seconds you've turned a half dozen movements into one flowing motion. Everything seems to go quiet as I reach the apex of the corner and the bike approaches full lean....the only sound to be heard is your knee gently skimming the asphalt.

There are few sensations that compare with this. This is why I ride.
