Join Michael Mann and expert riding coach Mark McVeigh for Episode 24 of our Better Riding series, powered by Honda Motorcycles UK.

In this episode, we debunk the myths around trail braking — one of the most misunderstood and hotly debated motorcycle techniques.

✔ What trail braking actually is
✔ Why so many riders get triggered by it
✔ The critical difference between trail braking and comfort braking
✔ Why it’s not a strategy for everyday road riding
✔ How advanced skills improve safety, control and headspace
✔ How corner crashes really happen — and how proper training can prevent them
✔ The drills riders can use to safely develop trail‑braking ability

With insights from aviation‑inspired “black box thinking,” data‑driven coaching, and real‑world crash analysis, this episode highlights why higher machine‑control skills make riders safer, smoother and more confident.
If you’re working toward becoming a smarter and more capable rider, this one’s essential viewing.
