Everybody welcome to Boosting G's Riders. I am Rich and what we're going to talk about today is bringing your bike to a nice smooth complete stop and a smooth takeoff. We're probably going to talk about this two things that occur We was on the ride riding a PCH and two people was having problems stopping their bikes and What I'm actually went down the second thing to probably do this video is probably going on our vacation I got re-ended and the reason I got re-ended and these people dropped their bike is because of what they were doing that I'm going to talk about that you should not do and That is feed dragon. So let's cover the first one We was riding the Pacific Coast Highway. Riders going smoothly. There was two riders that was having trouble stopping their bike and if you're having trouble stopping a bike, I mean you Foot tapping and walking and having trouble then this video is definitely for you. What it Curve was I was riding in four position. The ride leader said hey we're going to stop at this restaurant and grab us lunch. He decided to pull in a parking lot and make a wide turn facing outward. That way when we finish eating we all can ride out at the same time. However, rider number two and number three was the feed drag. Now you can see what you want about dragging your feet. It's not a bad thing It's not a good thing is just something that will get you in trouble And they were riding too closely to each other The lead rider made a wide turn Now riding number two have to come in and make a sharper turn to face outward and he could not make the turn So he stopped his bike. Fortunately his wheel was facing forward. Right in number three. The exact same thing Feet hanging down. He goes old snap Right in number two stop a little shorter than he was expecting So the two things that are going to happen and you can't do anything about this is going to happen two things you are going to Manoeuvre so you want to hit the bike in front of you And you're going to want to stop so you don't hit the bike in front of you. They're going to happen simultaneously. There's nothing you could do about it It's just the way the human body in mind works So what happened was he done exactly that he went to the left Hit the front brake at the same time bring this bike down with him and his passenger Now the third thing that's not going to happen and there's nothing you can do about it It's physiology There's nothing you can do about it Is you are not going to bring your feet up to use that rear brake to come to us complete a smooth stop The second thing was when I got rid of it What was occurring? We were coming to a T section And there was a stop sign here for people who make it to the left And the stop sign was over here for those of us who was making it right I decided to make a right turn. I'm talking to Karen on my Sina and I say baby, I make this right turn Traffits coming traffic is coming completely like 60 70 miles an hour So I stop and I'm waiting for a clearance Now Right in number two Done the exact same thing He put his feet down before he came to a complete stop And he looked make sure it was clear And he decided to go But he violated the number one rule in motorcycle look where you want to go He started moving and about time he turned and he realized that I hadn't cleared I hadn't moved yet His feet was already down and he Panicked Hit his front brake and his feet was trying to stop his bike so he won't rear in me Unfortunately, he rear ended me which caused a lot of damage to my bike By the time this video Get aired this should be complete but We saw it because we Had it on video and if unfortunately I can't show the video for well, you know reasons I can't show it But that will occur Feet dragon will get you in trouble all the time. So I'm going to show you these two things that You should be doing and not putting your feet on the ground Yeah, going past it right now So we're going to get to the right quick And I'm going to show you a third thing where you really don't need the front brake now I'm not suggesting no use the front brake my suggestion is you the front and rear brake Simultaneously so you will have 100% of your braking power But toward the end when you get to that one in two miles an hour You can release the front brake and use the rear brake only and I will show you demonstration of that also So let me get on the bike and get this thing started Okay, now that I'm all geared up I'm going to show you what we're talking about coming to a nice smooth stop and I do believe in Gear it up fully even in parking lot practice because that's probably the most placed that most people drop the bikes and parking lot practice so I'm going to show you I do believe in Using a front and rear brake simultaneously That way you will have 100% of your braking power and I'm talking about smooth stops I'm speaking of plan stop, you know real life stop signs. Just have nothing to do with emergency braking So I'm coming down here I will use my front and rear brake to get 100% of my stopping power And then as I get close our release the front brake and use the rear brake only Take my foot off come to a nice plant and then only put the right foot down If I'm going to be here for quite some time No like a red light or traffic and the same goals When you're taking off one foot up and then When you take our oil to do it just lift one foot and continue to move So the second one I'm going to show you is What is known as the heel roll I'm over exaggerated a little bit so you can see exactly what I'm talking about Everything's the same 100% braking power with the front and rear brake And as I'm coming to about one or two miles an hour I'm taking my foot off the rear oil so you can see and I put it forward put my foot forward At the rear brake heel let it roll to a flat position I hope in that side camera picked it up So the third thing I'm going to do is show you That you really really do not need the front brake at all As I stated earlier I wouldn't recommend doing this And I am a big proponent of using the front and rear brake Now you can use the front brake to stop I don't know why people think you can use the front brake and slow and do it as long as you have your Wheel forward you should not have no problem So what I'm going to do is show you I don't need the front brake at all I'm coming to a stop everything the same My hand is off the front brake a little pressure on the rear brake Come to a please stop a complete stop without using the front brake at all I'll do it one more time To show you It's not that hard And this stuff that we're doing you can practice And you will get it in less than five 10 minutes you do it over and over Now I'm not saying practice releasing your hand off the wheel Wheel is straight hand is up Complete stop It's just that simple So if you're doing a foot dragging And you're saying well I never had a problem Well There's no more never a problem Until it becomes a problem Something cut you off You need to avoid it You're going to have problems And even with the rear brake you can stop your bike with the rear brake with the wheel So it's Turn unlike What will turn stopping with the rear brake Not a problem Do that with the front brake and you will go down So if you're having a problem coming to us complete stop They go down practice for about five 10 minutes That's all you're going to need And you'll find out that your riding becomes a lot better A lot smoother and you know you have a lot more fun when you're doing this So if you're riding Ride alone Ride hard Ride strong But most importantly ride safe From boosting jeez riders Unrich And I'm out Peace
