Harris got me thinking

[HwyRider]

Harris sent me that instructional pdf awhile ago. Great stuff! In it, they recommend that you only put your left foot down at a stop. Fairly simple once you get used to balancing the bike.

I've got a new twist to it that I'm working on now. At stop signs or right turns, I now try to come to a complete legal stop (2 seconds?) without putting either foot down. Ok, so it really isn't "safe", but I think it's made me a better rider in some ways.


Who else can do it?

:crash:

I'm gonna say I've been practicing the 1 second no foot down tactic. But my left foot is always inches from the pavement....

I found I was not putting a foot down so many times at stops that I had to start practicing putting a foot (or two) down.

DPS here says if a foot didn't touch the ground,you didn't stop. They write a lot of tickets at some rallies that way.

Same story here...

I balance as long as I can... then drop the left foot... maybe its because there are so many hills here...

When I am riding with friends, Who ever dabs first looses.

Try satanding on the boards at a full stop. I can for a few seconds.

I usually do the 2 second stop with my feet up unless there's a cop around cause here in Cali they'll get you for a Hollywood stop.

I practice going as fast as I can and still appear to put a foot down at a stop sign.

Ahh, I didn't really say that. I always stop at a stop sign, look both ways and then proceed after I have made sure that it is safe to enter the intersection.
