trail braking

Late braking technique used by expert motorcycle roadracers in which the brakes continue to be applied beyond the point at which the motorcycle has been leaned over and has entered the corner. Trail braking is used primarily to delay the onset of braking for a particular corner as long as possible, and thereby overtake another rider. The technique requires a great deal of finesse and skill in order to avoid the loss of front wheel traction, which usually results in a low side crash.
Any attempt at trail braking by a novice rider, although usually unintentional, almost invariably results in a low side crash.

knee pucks

Formed pieces of hard plastic or compressed leather incorporated onto motorcycle roadracing suits to protect the suit leather from damage while cornering. The pucks are attached to the leather suit towards the outside and just below the knee area of each leg, usually with velcro.
Expert motorcycle roadracers must replace their knee pucks quite often.

hanging off

Term used to describe the cornering technique used by motorcycle roadracers in which they position their body to the extreme inside of and below the normal riding position while riding through a curve in the race track at high speed. By hanging off of the motorcycle in this fashion, the rider alters the center of mass of the rider-motorcycle system and in so doing minimizes the lean angle required to negotiate the corner at a given velocity.
The key to cornering a motorcycle is hanging off in the correct manner and to the proper degree.
