This always makes good reading and is something I like to read repeatedly every so often. I had seen it somewhere before and there is other similar stuff out there on the net too.

Not something I generally associate with A10s and A7s. Our speeds may be lower but our brakes are mainly decorative so we certainly need to look for hazards well ahead, just like a sports bike rider. ;D
