I am not from the US but from somewhere in the Indian Ocean but I’ll be moving to UK in the near future. Well it might be dangerous if you are new and panic while seeing a hazardous situation because remember, FOL is kind of timing reducing reaction time and if you (not you but you in general-lol) are a panicking new rider, with your fingers-on-lever, your quick reaction will be to press the lever hard and lock the wheels but does not mean if you do not have your fingers over there this situation won’t arise. Well riding should be fun but also instructive and reflexes, instincts and experience come with frequent riding. Practice does make perfect!! You should not be afraid because that’s what gana screw things up. Be cool and chillax! It’s not the end of the world, not yet…. Well a noob rider might learn from an experienced rider and vice versa because each and every bike has their own way of riding it and every bikers have their own way of riding bikes! Like if I asked the side what would be the best beginner bike and all would say ninja250r but i am a no-fairing-type so i might like cbx or gsf hooligan type. For me it is not a question of learning (or whatever) but liking what i am doing on what i am sitting. Someone might propose me a gixxer 750r and a kawi z750… I’ll go for the kawi… Same applies for the fingers-on-lever riding! And if one said it was dangerous, does not mean it is for certain…. Safe ride fun ride
