Another technique for stopping quickly while cornering involves changing our path of travel. If something is blocking our path, we must find a way to rapidly stop our motorcycle. Because there is an obstacle, perhaps a stalled vehicle, in our way, we must alter our direction anyway. By pressing on our outside handgrip, we can quickly straighten our bike up eliminating any cornering force. This makes all traction available for braking. Now using our straight line braking techniques allows us to stop in the shortest possible distance and avoid whatever is blocking the curve.
