all that theory applies to cars also. we teach it at schools. adding pressure to the brakes at a rate the tires can handle as the weight transfers to the front allowing more pressure. it is basic friction circle management/weight transfer stuff. for motorcycles that have soft suspensions the lag/dive is a lot more pronounced.

as for the "covering/preload" thing...not really practical in daily use to preload...it turns the brake lights on. covering is good, but preload.... if much preload is needed, then the brake system needs adjusting..
