Default Left Foot/Right Foot.

I find myself putting my left foot down first and picking it up last in any stopping situation's.
How about you.

Left foot goes to the ground, right foot stays on the peg holding the brake.&nbsp\\; My right foot never goes down when I stop.

Left foot down, right foot down, stay in first gear, watch your *** in the rear view mirror.&nbsp\\; Neutral is for warming up in the driveway.

BOTH feet down and BOTH feet up at the same time. Otherwise, there will be no balance. Putting down one foot at a time will cause the bike to want to fall over towards that particular foot.
&nbsp\\;
I never put down both feet until the bike comes to a complete stop.

Left foot down, right foot on brake, bike in first, watching your mirror for idiots.
