here we either modify/change the bars or change the whole set where the lever is usually attached…or try some modifications…

um its like DOT does different calculations and has different answers (different ‘settings’ set to helmets depending on size of helmet=size of head..different heads have different impacts?!) and SNELL does different calculations to have same answer, (trying to make perfect helmet)…interesting… though i did not get the whole of it and that i don’t like fizixxx… i dunno where snell come up from but i feel its like yamaha and star…
hey get a good helmet and try not to crash… XXDBoOZe
Solomolo Riderbetter try not to crash….
snell came later nopes? DOT is more secure for me.. hey you have index and stm helmets there?

Solomolo Riderright about turns but i had quit doing that and changed my habit, front brake before turn, let go to ease the springs and backbrake during turn if necessary…but sometimes i did pressed a lil tiny mini on the front while in turns…a lil…
“””What is so hard about quickly reaching one or two fingers up when you need to stop?”””
spot a stopped car, close your eyes and keep going towards it and when you sense the breathlessfear, open! tadaaa!!
or let other hazardous situations come your way… but everyone his own way..BoOZe
Solomolo Rider*****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?

Solomolo RiderCongrats and gudluck jayjay! I was a nerd and still is, in the blood (i fink) but i put lenses now
and well want a tip eh? get some good gear! yeah that worked for me and ben proved dat also… i used to ride a lil bike with no cool gear..then when i had my gear, all eyes were laid on me..yea laid i dnt care if they were whatever inside, but the important: eyes were on me XDDDDD haahaBoOZe
Solomolo RiderNah it is alright about sorry, it’s ok sir, no need to, and well guess you are completely right about internet. Though I am young and during my 6years of riding, I have went through lets say a lil more than enough to know certain things and know my limits though I have not ridden as fast as you, i am not as skilled as you and have not the same level of experience but what we have in common, we both ride. What I want to say is that I also as others will try to add my piece to at least try to complete certain puzzles for some. I knew I would never have chosen a cbr rr even if I was enough skilled ‘coz sport’s not in my blood but hooliganism, like z750 ;P and some days back I just tried a cbr and dang its a beast and the position, well…. For this kind of bike to have to transfer weight, not shift, that’s what I call that… I accelerated and the more it climbed in rpms, the more feeling I got the bike was saying to me ‘hey that’s all you can do? c’mon open me!!…’ … Today i witnessed four riders at a stoplight. Four great japanese: kawi honda suzu and yama… all 600rr… all noobs… the cbr was about to do an unwanted wheelie (clutch in, 1st gear, opened gas and out of concentration rather let go of clutch…) and the kawi was unable to locate first gear and all his pals started and he was left back… Here mostly all are noobs… but m not buying anything till I have not tried mostly all bikes… dang i talk a lot when m sleepy… when will my day come when i’ll do as in your photo…

Solomolo Rideras i said, different riders, different perceptions but also techniques and timings and whatever that distinguish each and every rider. 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…fink i shud open a debate on this

Solomolo Riderso airforce pilots put hjc?lol…if you have time, check on some sharks….though i also like shoei..but also shark..and sh…grr…

Solomolo Riderfotobits sir that is what i wanted to xplain the guy who posted this query: coleB… with my sarcasm and sorry if you misinterpreted my comments or maybe i should not have put ‘my moto….’ i was totally against his upgrade coz people in my country have had their a*s*s paid off coz of not having experience of riding and shifting to I-4 140hp bikes! even if the accidents were serious, it was not communicated, unless the rider is dead… you guys have serious luck to start on a 250 or 500 bike and i admit though i started on a 50cc bike and rode a 70/100cc for two years, the bike still had something to show me and i always had something to learn from it… and coleB, you are talking about upgrading to gixer750 with i dunno 130hp compared to 60hp for the 500?and you think a year is sufficient?ok we advised,,ball in your court…
BoOZe
Solomolo Rideryou know you are right and wanted someone else to confirm..lol.. yeah this IS the hooligan UX icon
BoOZe
Solomolo Rideryou said it: after 1year+ and countless hours and etc… can someone upgrade after 2000miles? anyways i have ridden a cbr600rr some days back and i must say it is a beast coz as you accelerate, the more it goes on the rpm meter, the more feeling i get that it wants me to open throttle… dang now i know why the urge to open up full gas… but the cbx750 was much more forgiving…

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…
