Hi guys,
In the three days I had my bike I already experienced a dumb ass in a jeep swerving in front of me. I was going slow so no biggy, but I did yell at him from inside my helmet.
Oh and my bike rolled forward today falling on her side but that's another sad story ....
I was wondering if you guys have any drills to practise for braking? I keep reading people say brake brake brake you got know how to brake pretty darn quickly. So I was wondering if you gys have some ideas? I can't practise braking just on the road, I need some drills where I go toa parking lot and practise it.
Any ideas? I was thinking speed wise. 10, 20, 30, 40 and so on till maybe 50 mph. How quick you should be able to brake, how do you squeeze the front brake without having it go out onyou? some also say to not use the back brake. So I should disregard the "use both brakes for maximum braking" form my MSF book?
I know some will say go out a practise, but I want some drills. She's big and heavy and I read that she doesn't stop as quick. with that in mind this morning I stayed way back of my two buddies in case.
