damn that thing looks clean

good pick-up & good going on the test :thumbup:

 

Congrats on passing the class!
I was worried i wasnt gonna pass h:
remember always use the rear brakes. left foot down first when you come to a stop

 

rear brake ONLY in slow speed braking, or mildly in turning situations where a lighter steering ability is needed (light rear braking will transfer weight to rear causing front to be lighter & more responsive)

otherwise, the rear brake should be avoided like the plague...too easy to lock rear wheel & cause loss of control from skidding

:nervous:

 

I always thought that, but i thought it was just because i dont like using the rear brake.

 

But his bike is so old it doesnt have a rear brake. He stops Flinstone style.

 

I just got the temp tag for the bike and got my license. Now I just have to get an inspection within the next 30 days so I can get my permanent plate.

 

Nice

 

Thats not really the best advice. In emergency stopping using both brakes will stop you faster, and so it is good to be in the habit of using both. While it isn't great if you lock up the rear, unlike the front you'll stay upright and can still steer somewhat. I also like using the rear brake as I come to stop because the bike won't dive so it make it a lot smoother.

not trying to start an arguement I just don't Labrinth getting bad advice right off the bat. same as the old timers who say to avoid the front brake at all costs. They make two brakes for a reason, use them both.

congrats on the bike though! be safe.

 

safest way to brake= engine breaking. its a wet clutch it wont burn out ride it a lot.

 

I want a bike but would have no where to put it. :sad:
