    The thread turns gay.

    All bootyhole tickling asside....

    Is hovering your finger over the brake a good idea? I keep only my pointer on the brake at all times. I think it helps me keep braking smoother and in-case of emergency situations I won't be forced to wrench my fingers over the brakes and squeeze the death out of them. I have the idea that if I ever do get into a bad situation that my pointer finger isn't strong enough flip the bike.

    Any thoughts?

    As long as ya a hydraulic brake yes your index finger is strong enough to brake too hard. I would t keep your finger over the brake if you have some sort of retard moment or panick to squeeze your hand you will squeeze the brake. My MSF coach said always use all four fingers to brake.

    4 fingers is a little overkill on our type of bikes. I can get the rear wheel up on the track w/ 2 fingers during hard braking, and I bet I could do it with just 1 too. I cover the clutch and the brake. Brake w/ 1 finger, the clutch with 2. I can't tell you how any times that has saved me. Just having them there gives you a faster reaction and doesn't give you the chance to fuck up getting your fingers in place to apply the brake.

    I ride just like Mother Goose, 1 finger always on the brake and 2 on the clutch and it has saved me too. I can max the brakes out with one finger, to be honest years ago I switched from 2 finger braking to 1 finger to give better control.

    Re: Grim down....

    Plus, if you're using 4 fingers on the brake, how are you holding onto the bars? Your thumb isn't a lot to hold on with. I know you need to be light on the bars, but basically letting go is probably worse.

    Re: Grim down....

    I cover riding on the street, not at the track.

    I use only my middle finger on the brakes, and its more than enough (brembo 19x20 helps ), I like having my index finger on the grip to help blip

    Re: Grim down....

    So now this is a thread about "How many fingers..."

    For what it's worth I never cover my clutch lever and I use all 4 fingers to shift.

    Front break is 2 fingers.

    For the break I usually don't cover. My personal style is to ride a consistent speed in and our of corners so usually engine breaking alone is enough to slow down to the correct corner speed. If engine breaking alone isn't enough, I'll drag my rear break lightly but the goal is always to have my breaking done before I start the corner.

    Does anyone else apply the rear break and throttle at the same time during cornering? I have no idea why this works, it seems like it would be counter intuitive.

    For fucks sake it is brakes that stop you. Breaks is when your tires get cold.

    Are you Rossi? Am I Rossi? He also sticks a leg out when he brakes... what's your point?

    On the track I'll use 2 fingers for braking and don't cover the brake, on the street I use 1 and I do cover the brake. We're talking about street riding in an uncontrolled environment where, if in an emergency situation, you need to move a different direction. On the track, most of your session or race, you know exactly where you need to go at all times.

    Re: Grim down....

    I use all four its just what i am comfortable with but perhaps that is maybe why i grabbed the front too hard and flipped the bike. At the same time though if i hadn't grabbed the brake hard enough i may have slammed into one of the two cars and it could have been fatal so....

    I guess it comes does to what you're comfortable with. But at the same time, if you had been covering the brake, your reaction time could have been faster, and more than likely smoother. Back when I would stunt, I could bring up the rear wheel with 1 finger on the brake with no problem. That was also with me moving forward in the seat at the same time. You'd be surprised at how well these brakes work (if they've been properly maintained).

    I'm also wondering if you had slid forward in the seat as you hit the brake. Having some Stomp Grip on the bike helps a lot with that. You don't need to squeeze your knees as much with that stuff on there.
