Biker Etiquette

RE: Biker Etiquette
I'm in that 40 year class and I don't give advise unless I'm asked. Riding solo I usually just put my left foot down, but that's just me and typically put both feet down when riding two-up. Take the MSF course. When you start thinking about how you look while riding that's when trouble comes. Just be safe, watch those cagers!

Guess that 33 yrs riding makes me a Middle Age Rider.. ...been ridin' since 1975.. I always stop with both feet down.. in the fall around here, they put sand on the roadways at intersections sometimes.. have had my foot slip when I put it down coming to a stop.. thats why I always use 2....

Take a MSF (not sure what the "F" stands for, my class was a Motorcycle Safety Course), then refer back to this website for gentle (LOL) reminders. My one bad habit is once at a complete stop and I know the vehicle behind me has stopped, I put the bike in neutral. I know I shouldn't but it is a habit I developed years ago to try and minimize heat and have never stopped. Also, when following behind vehicles, leave yourself a large enough gap to react in case they run over something. ride safe.
