I always have two feet down when stopped but just wondering when first stopping do you originally put one foot down and then add the other or do you go both at the same time at stop. I was wondering because I saw a few people do both and tried it and seemed very odd. Just thought maybe I may have been doing it wrong my entire life.
When showing off to the girlfriend on back I come to a stop with left foot down , left hand on clutch.
Right foot on the board , right had on resting on my thigh
I usually come to a stop first, then put a foot or two down if i have too. I try to stop in a balanced manor so that i can sit there for a few seconds without putting my feet down. But I also raise them the second before my bike moves, I don't know why it drives me nuts when i see people drag their feet 10ft from a stop. Once the clutch hits the friction zone the bike doesn't need your feet, Or maybe I just like to balance and should have been a gymnast.
