I just got off the Advanced Riders Course who noted that many of the super fast motorcops are not using their rear brake and offered advice on using the clutch, throttle, and front brake smoothly. I went through the course working just the clutch and throttle and that got me through their course easily. Only problems I had was when I tried turning super tight (<16') and lost momentum while not counter balancing enough. My failure for trying something far more extreme than any of the other riders. Once I opened up my turn to 18'-20' then everything worked smoothly and made the patterns simple.

Since I'm not going for speed, only smoothness and being able to maneuver around traffic, I'll keep practicing what has worked for me and continue taking courses.
