Review of the CFMoto JetMax 250i
-
I had the same thing happen to me at an intersection.. Was going about 45 when the light changed and I hit my back break too hard.. My back end slid out from under me and I skidded through the intersection sideways and came to a stop just short of hitting the opposite side curb.. Luckily the other cars heard my tire squealing and the traffic stood still for me to get through.. I still think they were waiting to see me crash..
The main thing to remember in an emergency stop is that your front break is going to be most of your stopping power.. I’ve practiced my high speed stops more and have gotten fairly good at stopping within 25 feet at up to 45mph.. The other thing to look out for in real life situations is you don’t want to be riding the center lane if you have to stop quickly.. That’s where the most oil builds up from cars, especially at intersections where cars sit…As for the hand signals.. I haven’t seen a rider use a hand signal to turn ever unless their lights were broken.. Odd are as others have said.. They’re just giving you the wave as you go by.. I was also informed by a friend that if you see someone riding towards you and they pat their helmet it means there’s a cop up ahead…

If you do try to go in and say it’s not you.. Just make sure you’re not wearing the same clothes as in the pic.. Might hurt your case that it was someone else..
