So I was wondering what everyone here does when you are coming out of a straight away to a heavy braking zone and you need to scrub speed and drop gears rapidly. I found that I have been braking pretty hard and shifting through 2-3 gears to pick out my chosen gear, and only letting the clutch out and blipping the throttle once I am done the majority of braking. When you are going into a brake zone before a turn, do you let the clutch out at each subsequent gear? To me this seems counter productive since you are then having the engine fight the brakes when you blip it. Opinions? - this is for a bike with no slipper clutch or fancy computer gadgets :)
