Ok, here's one for you lot......
I'm doing my Advanced (IAM) Course at the moment and have a query to throw at you all.....
When braking to a stop, I put my left foot down first, as still using both brakes, and when bike has ground to a halt then change feet so can select neutral gear...so whilst waiting to pull away again I'm sat there with my right foot on the ground.....
Still with me?.....
Well, my IAM Observer says this isn't really good practice and I should put my right foot down first, after slowing down with both brakes and finally stopping with the front one, leaving my left foot free to get into neutral, otherwise I'm dancing around changing feet.....
Trouble is....unless there's a camber,( which being vertically challenged I always have to take into consideration every time I stop)...it feels alot more natural for me to use my left foot......
So, what do you think? Answers on the back of a postage stamp please..
