How Often Do You Practice Braking & Evading?
The motormen that I know of in S. Florida are required to practice monthly. City & County motormen. How abt u non-motormen? How often do you practice Braking & Evading.
Of course, there is more to practice than just Braking & Evading but the poll is about just Braking & Evading.

Really most the times I ride I do a little bit of practice.
If its becomes a habit it will be Ur reaction and U can react a lot faster than instead of having to think how/what to do in those emergency situations for those who seldom do it...

This is what was taught to me, practice every time U have some space to maneuver, that is how to ride... Sometimes getting good fuel mileage isn't the only way to ride... And I for one don't mind getting less miles on all of the consumables if it keeps me just a little sharper with my reactions...

Like FLHTK said, I get practice every day. Yesterday, damn near was run over pulling out of the gas station when a huge truck darted right in the same lane. Didn't see me until I slammed on my brakes and yelled F♥CK! through his window. People just don't see us.
Practicing (one way or the other) is a good idea.

Never. You don't need to practice when you do it for real everyday - as mentioned by others. No - we're not kidding.
