Agree smoothness is all important, but either there's a copy/paste error from the book or someone skipped proofreading and went straight to publishing. |
I took his class, too, and that whole section made no sense (as presented). The riding exercise was valuable for practicing smooth throttle/braking combinations, but I didn't get the logic of the presentation at all.
And for what it's worth, my bike wheelies out of corners pretty much at will. It's tons of fun to just keep the front skimming along while you straighten up.
