naturally I selected Perfect balance because i'm awesome.
However, sometimes when I don't feel like being the studly god like man that I am, I will usually put my left foot down and keep my right foot up. Only time I really put both feet down is when i'm in heavy traffic or a long line with cars already built up behind me and not really moving.

i use both feet just for stability factor. i guess that can be considered saftey. what happens when you guys put only your left foot down and its a slippery spot on the road and down goes you and your bike? with both legs down i dont hardly have to balance the bike as my weight sitting on it pretty much keeps it still. when on one leg, you are balancing it and putting more weight on your leg which seems like unneeded strain on the muscles. granted its not a lot but the point is valid enough to make i think.
also ill use the front handbrake to flash when cars approach. why do you all use your foot? i mean our hands are already on the bars why not make use of them

Who you trying to play?!? We all know you make your poor fiancee hop off at lights and hold you up. That's why she wants her own bike: she's tired of being your training wheels

If I wrote anything like that, sleeping on the couch would be for my own safety
LOL pimpn, you don't know Kuroshiro, do you?
K: MSF teaches dropping the left foot first, so the right stays on the rear brake. They dock you points if you drop the right first. If we assume what MSF teaches is the "correct" method, then left is where it should be.

- Check their technique
- Check their gear
- Check their bike
In that order. The way some of the people ride here in Philly, you need to know when its time to GTFO of Dodge
