Power! What riders desire above all else…in a straight line! The ability to brake will keep your motorbike gloves on. In many countries, learner riders have to find out how to brake well themselves.
The most common rider-at-fault accident is running into the back of another vehicle. And, it’s also the easiest to avoid. Okay, you ride too close to the back of a car. Your motorbike gloves are twitching with anticipation. A bike will never out-brake a car. Cars have four big, fat, ceramic, carbon, ABS plates that drivers just plant their big, fat plates of meat on, that will stop in a much shorter distance than a bike.
Practise braking. The distribution of weight, and the process of shifting weight while braking, is different with each motorcycle, and it's important that you can feel the differences. Practice in a parking lot will teach you to feel what's happening with your bike.
Balance is crucial when braking. That’s why we have front and rear brake controls…unlike the car. Most experts agree that roughly 70% of braking effort should go to the front wheel (which uses the hand lever on the right grip), and 30% to the rear (which is operated by the right foot pedal.) A two-fingered motorcycle glove approach is ideal for sports bikes…whereas a four-fingered motorcycle glove grip is ideal for cruisers.
Remember, there is a process called “staged braking”. This is when you apply the brakes in a staged process. This gives you a predictable and progressive braking.
Give yourself room!
Once you do that, you are able to screw the gas with your motorbike gloves and set your sights straight ahead!
