Google 'Motorcycle Cornering". There is a great on line free riding instruction course that gives the basics of braking, cornering ect. with pictures. I had to relearn to ride by taking baby steps and this was one of them. Although I had ridden for 10 years 30 years ago I did not even know what counter steering was. Knowing the physics, mechanics of the sport is huge. My dealor told me to forget I had a front brake under 5 miles an hour. That thing will torque your wheel over and down you go. I must start practicing panic stops at speed. It is essential. The back brake is merely a compliment to the front. They do say to use it when braking in a curve. You want to be straight up in a curve if you try hard braking though. I will take the advanced rider course. I know that in all things I can keep learning. Good luck and God bless.
