How to Ride a Motorcycle/Brake pedal height

The more I teach motorcycle riding classes the more I learn myself. I have learned a lot about how every little thing,
can add up to seconds lost or gained. In taking a motorcycle lessons myself when I was a kid I learned how corner speed
has a lot of different elements. As far as braking properly, brake pedal height is crucial. I find it is easier to adjust
your brake pedal so it is slightly higher than your foot peg than adjust it so that the brake pedal engages level with the
foot peg. This makes braking much easier in the way I explained earlier. Hold your foot up above the brake pedal
and keep it tight to the bike and opperate the brake pedal while keeping it tight to the bike. This is makes it easier
to have better braking control. Better braking control is slowing the wheel down, rather than just locking up
the rear wheel.It is easier to do this with you foot up off the foot peg rather than down on the foot peg, because
your using your hold leg to moderate the pressure to the brake pedal rather than just flexing your ankle
and also having to lean forward to find the brake pedal.

So now go out and adjust that brake pedal and work at those cornering drills we discussed earlier. Remember that
perfect practice makes perfect. So practice at a slow speed than work into the speed once you have the braking process
down. Dirt bike riding practice may take a lot of time, but it is well worth it. For more on motorcycle safety course, or
