Keep scanning your mirrors for trouble from behind!

You gotta love them mice elf!

Until now I always stop in 1st. Only thing is that I am in the process of installing a suicide clutch/jockey shift. My stopping plans will change (from what I've heard).

meh...some , if its a normal type stop I pop into neutral while still rolling a bit so I can stop smoothly and put both feet down. If I got to stop fast I just push in the clutch and hit the brakes , one foot down when stopped no big deal. then I decide if I want to be in neutral or not

I suggest you keep your front brake and not go straight into a suicide set-up...not trying to be a know it all, but one adjustment at a time lol
