Now all you have to do is put your foot closer to the bike till your heel comes into contact with the plate. When I’m riding, I feel a lot more stable and in control because of this. If you don’t believe me, try it for a week and then try putting your feet in their previous positions without touching the plate the next week–it will seem like your feet are suspended in midair!

- Don’t Brake On Turn/Accelerate Through Turn
It’s a massive no-no to brake during a turn. The bike will start straightening itself immediately if you swerve around a corner while bent over. You might be able to save it if you hit the brakes before the apex of the bend if the road straightens out quickly, but if you hit the brakes before the turn, you’re doomed.

- 70/30 braking rule
You should practice 70/30 braking as a general guideline (unless you’re dirt biking). To guarantee a smooth and progressive stop, apply 70% of your braking pressure to the front brake and 30% to the rear brake. Although your front brake is the most powerful, you should not rely on it solely.

6. Always wear a full-face helmet
Make sure you’re wearing a full-face helmet with a face shield (or eye protection) The majority of accidents happen at low speeds, yet not wearing a helmet increases your risk even at low speeds. If you hit a piece of gravel, the helmet may come in handy. Or a puddle of oil. And then your head collides with…something. It’s necessary for safe riding.

Highway hypnosis affects both drivers and passengers, so you may become drowsy during a ride even if you’re well-rested. Take some time to relax. Keep yourself hydrated.
