The front brake provides about 70 to 80 percent of the braking power Officers stress that The proper thing to do while braking is to apply the front and rear evenly, neither one more or less than the other The officers claim that for the most part, local riding enthusiasts have a nonchalant attitude about motorcycle safety The number one item locally which motorcyclists abuse is not wearing protective clothing and a helmet, officers said Officers suggest that anyone just getting into riding motorcycles should first learn on a dirt bike, away from traffic And they say not to take too big a bite when buying a new machine After youve learned the basics you can always move up to a larger motorbike Officers stress that a motorcycle is only as dangerous as the rider behind the bars Continuous efforts for safe riding reduce chances for an accident Motorcycles provide a low silhouette in traffic and extra safety precautions and defensive driving are a must ing so when they are contront-e- d with a situation like in the first paragraph of this story, instead of sti 1 counter steering, they steer right into the car Counter sterirg is an essential technique which should be learned by everyone who saddles a motor-bidor even a mo-pe- d In a parking lot, where you are moving very slowly, you are steering the bike, said the officer You steer the bike and turn the handlebars in the direction you want to go But between 25 and 30 miles per hour, counter steering takes over Instead of steering into you are basically steering away from where you want to go this puts the bike into a lean, which in turn turns the bike In the opening paragraph, the reason why he or she will hit the car is because they steered the bike away from the crash . which made the bike lean and turn directly into the car Instead, the motorcycle should have turned the bars directly into the car Counter steering would take over and the bike would turn away Counter steering may be a difficult concept for many drivers to comprehend, but to simplify it, it is suggested that you think while turning If you want to turn left, the left hand should push on the handlebar, with the right hand pulling For a right turn, the opposite is required Riders often misunderstand what stops a motorcycle The myth is that putting the front brake on too hard will cause the bike to flip According to the officers, this is pure nonsense e, THE RACE IS ON In the race between the stork and the plow about 10,000 people, mostly children, die of starvation on malnutrition every day Our competitive market must continue and improve if we are to allow the plow to keep pace with the stjirk worldwide -- compared to 502 last week and 482 last year.
