Hi, this is Pynki from NC. I took Riders Edge on Father's Day weekend, passed and got my license. Just bought my 1st bike, a 2009 nightster.
I am having issues with proper stopping technique and would appreciate some input. For some reason when stopping I feel my bike lean slightly to the right and my reaction is to put my right foot down first. I use both front and back brake. This happens about 30% of the time.
My husband and coach ( he's been riding road glide for 6 yrs) says that I am not pressing hard enough on the back brake but even when I press harder this sometimes happen's. It is perplexing me and really aggravating my husband who thinks I am just not taking riding seriously enough. ::bigsmiley19:
The week end I took my course my husband's stepmother, a relatively new rider, had an ignorant driver behind her that kinda freaked her out. She forgot to lean in the next corner as the woman was still up her butt and she rode off the road into barbed wire. Among her other injuries she missed her corotid artery by an 1 1/5 inches.
Need less to say I won't get to ride on my own till I have everything down perfect! Any input would be greatly appreciated as I just can't seen to get it right! Thanks
