Little things to make the road safer for everybody. I'm new so no tip is trivial.
Silly question, I hear people recommend 2 fingers on the brake so you're less likely to high side. Well which two? In sports there is a correct way to hold golf club or racket is there such a thing in motorcycle riding? Or are all idiosyncrasies accepted? I'd rather learn the correct way/form as not to develop bad habits and my MSF class is still a few weeks away. I've ridden my friend's bikes for fun and did what was just natural but usually in anything that creates bad form.
Currently I use my index and thumb to control throttle, my middle and ring finger to cover the brake. Way wrong? My friend uses his index and middle to brake but he just says that's how he does it, no explanation of pros/cons.
