*****good and i noticed if ye wana have smooth throttle action, ride with one or two fingers(index or/and middle) on the front brake lever(put it not press it and this timing is a safety timing…) and the rest on throttle*****
TRUE OR FALSE?
My Experience:
uh when i first started riding i just had firm grip on the bars and later i heard and learned that a finger or two on the lever is important, see a must ‘coz it is a safety timing, imean kinda diminish reaction time (i went thru dat!) not to forget a finger on the clutch lever but mine you had to pull the lever in 100% (new bikes have a ‘stuff’ to change friction zone)… grosomodo i always have been riding with two fingaz on the brake lever but at first, i was finding that awkward but with time i got used to that and at present i find it awkward to ride w/o my two fingers on the lever but!!!!!! the fingy thing i notice it when i ride with two fingers there, i give smooth throttle action to the bike while starting and while riding but also, i have the tendency not to push the engine hard on certain gears… what i want to say is that after a few months of riding with fingers-on-lever(FOL…lol) i decided to grab the bars as i was doing it at first and i said, wow is my bike possessed or what?! imean with you hand fully wrapping/gripping the throttle, you have the tendency to open up at its most…that is what i noticed.. but i am happy that riding FOL saved my butt few times…** the FOL saved my butt several times..well i was at fault anyways but i was just eyewashing a lady in the street when suddenly i got a buzz in my head which propelled me to look ahead and spoted the car a few metres away which had stopped on the road for dunno what reasons (6th sense!!!! XDXDDDD lol) and as i had my fingers ready, i just pressed it a lil hard then minisec after i pressed the rear brake…** + etc ….. + i was happy it helped me stop just in front of a chikaz, (and not rolling over her) who smiled at me but dang her for not being attentive and bumping in front of me from dunno, where.. dropped alien… chicks here are crazy… and i mean it…

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! different riders, different perceptions but also techniques and timings and whatever that distinguish each and every rider.
ANY SIGN OF TRUTH OR… NONSENSE UP HERE?
