Sorry I mean't rear brake! See - can't even say it, let alone use it!! ;D
Nokesy, you can edit your posts if you want to change something you know... use the "modify" button [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
My faults? Erm.... probably lack of tolerance of other roads users (eejits! >:() and maybe TFF sometimes... ;)
all of the above at some point or other...but not jaydee's bad habits though, they just scare me!! ;D ;D
roxy
I got way too many! On the v-twin I don't touch the brakes, cos the engine brake is just awesome! Not even down a hill, you know, just let go of the throttle and sorted! (GOD i love the v-twin!!!) On the other bikes, I'm a back braker, which apparently is a very bad habit, but, what can I say, it works for me. And I've never cleaned my bike. Really don't see the point, dirty bike works as well as a clean one! :)
All of the above! Still not that confident into bends at speed. Continually shouting at myself not to touch the brakes when I feel I'm too fast in the bend. Case of mind over matter (and a puckered seat). ;D
Hehe.
@Morticia, I like to think it's a thing of respect, the bike looks after you, you look after it. You can see if things look dodgy and also tamper and learn.
Right foot on the floor when stationary-just can't break this one - too many years of trying to get 125 'crossers off the line in 2nd I guess
Why is this a "bad" habit?Quote:

The MT-01 with big stoppers on the front and USD forks makes one hell of a difference.
