Keep your dang feet on the pegs ! Yes you heard me lol . Ok so what am I talking about ? Well let me paint the picture for you. When I took a motorcycle course years ago they taut us to come to a stop using both brakes . Then you put your feet down . Ok sounds normal right ? Ok let me go further , now your at the light with both your feet down , light turns green you start to go your feet are dangling through the intersection THEN! it happens a smurf runs out in front of you . You try to swerve but because your feet are dangling your bike wobbles unbalanced instead of steering and manoeuvring. You grab the front brake with the handle bars turned ,,,, SKUPUNK!! flop on the ground you go! What just happened ? Simple you were not in full control of the bike. Fast forw...
All. The . Gear .All .The . Time. VS Squid riders ? Ok ATGATT makes sense but what is a squid ? Well you could say to be polite anyone who doesn't wear proper gear.

First your on the side walk and you hear a loud bike coming up to the stop light. As the bike stops at the light you hear it well . Then an average car stops behind the bike, You now hear the car and the bike about 50/50 . Then a bus stops in the other lane just beside the bike . You now only hear the bus . The light turns green all the vehicles take of at the same speed . Now you just have a symphony of engine . The bike is lost in the mix . The secon d point of view . Your on your bike .Ill use my BMW R60 as an example . This bike was no louder then a Church mouse. Ive had Harley's with sawed off drag pipes pull up behind me many times and they would be a...
