With all of the distractions, chaos, incompetence, drugs and alcohol not to mention road rage and stupidity that make up traffic in the modern world, we found it shocking when we learned that the MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) instructs new riders to NOT cover their front brakes.
This goes counter to all common sense, not to mention everything we've learned over the decades about riding and especially crashing motorcycles.
Here's why covering is important, when it's appropriate and how to cover properly along with other important skills and facts that can help minimize the damage when someone invariably and inevitably crosses your motorcycles path.
