Either way your front brake is 75% of your stopping power.

Talk to your local motorcycle safety foundation coach or instructor. You are 100% wrong.

Correct, the low side is the most common. Handful, pavement..results are the same.

And then when they do ride a motorcycle, the first instinct isn't to grab a handful of front brake, when you get into a quick stop situation.

The front brake does 75% of your shopping, I prefer to have that under my Smarter, and more dexterous right hand..allowing my left hand to be used to sign, as we ride on the right..and hand signals are required for your motorcycle road test.

Because us and Europe are stupid...what side is the front brake on all motorcycles..? Why change it for a bicycle? It is that simple.

Reply to LPT: If you're teaching someone/learning to drive make sure to practice on the freeway and at night, even if it's scary by Jessieface13
They didn't teach you to drive. They gave you the bare minimum of skills, and let you lose.. Why there isn't a better license system is beyond me, my 8 year old has more experience and understanding of rules of the road, than most people I encounter on a daily basis. The automobile should not be the first thing that you are allowed to drive. And yet in most parts of the world, it's people's first experience operating any type of large equipment, and they just send them out in public. And practice in public... Yes, she rides a motorcycle, and atv, races karts, has driven with mom and myself in a closed area, mowed the lawn on the rider..knows all the hand signals, flags (racing), and signs ... And I come on here and it's learning to drive videos, of people almost rear-ending a cop car...🤦♂️ Faith in humanity is low..
