Panic braking, How to train to avoid it? Options

[BubbaZ-Isaac]

so, it seems that several of us who have crashed during "black october" have done so due to the same mistake -

mistake #2 - my panic reaction erupted. i was already flicked from right to left but not enough to get through the left. instead of leaning the bike more and gassing it i grabbed the front break. this stood the bike up and pointed the bike at the outside edge - the gravel. this is what i learned not to do monday at superbike school. of course, lots of luck in undoing generations of panic reactions.

so, how does one train oneself out of the panic braking response? there is no time to think.

Can't say it enough: practice, practice, practice. That's how we get good at anything.

No reflection on you, Isaac, but a message to us all: If we think we can jump on a sport bike, ride fast, and not crash without practicing how not to do so, we are deluding ourselves. The downfall of every one of us is that we think we're good, and we think it too early in our riding careers.
