    I work as paramedic and i finished my shift 2 hours ago. The last call we had was exactly this kind of scenario. My patient was rearended by a drunk driver while she was slowing down due to the traffic up ahead. This for me proves the necessity of practicing these kind of skills aswel as correct positioning in traffic. Thanks Eddie for the advice and tipps! Gonna go practice them soon.

    As an interesting anecdote, I worked a wreck about a month ago where a driver saw a motorcycle with a flashing tail light at the last second and wound up taking the ditch. Obviously you can't spend enough money to keep yourself safe, but it helped that guy on that day.

    Hi Greg, although I'm no longer an instructor, I always taught right foot on the brake when stopped as a "discipline." It forces new riders to get their left foot off the gears and on the ground. I also hammered checking mirrors when stopping, and when stopped. Getting rear ended on a bike is bad news. I've seen a car tail ended enough that the licence plate of the other car was imprinted in the back of the first car. Myself and other instructors have had multiple occasions in trucks, cars and on bikes where we've had to dump the clutch and escape into driveways or over the kerb because we monitored the traffic behind us and saw that someone wasn't stopping in time. In teaching, extend your fast straightline take-offs to include fast take-offs with a sharp left or right turn. I would also recommend teaching the drill of getting the left foot onto the peg immediately, in less than a foot of travel. That puts you in the most stable position, ready to flick left or right as needed. It helps to reinforce balance and vehicle (bike) control. A very good exercise I found was "trials" type riding, through ditches, around bushes and over kerbs etc., which I've practiced even on heavy road bikes. The trials style riding will help people getting their foot off the ground and onto the pegs, which also removes fear and hesitancy about being out of balance during the fast take-off. Keep up the good work, Jim

    New rider here, and your words are making an impact with me. Rode 40 miles today, most in single day for me, so far. I stalled at the front of a few intersections and noticed I had my right foot down more than my left. Probably because I'm afraid to leave it in 2nd and stall while releasing the clutch. I will try to improve my "discipline" with your former teachings!

It has saved me numerous times and I thank you for that. This video is just as informative about front and rear break usage. I didn't know, think about or understand why the rear break is more effective in this situation, until now. I love your videos and thank you once again for what you do.

    Both of my current bikes are shaft drive, ZL1000 Eliminater Kawasaki and KZ750 Spector Kawasaki. Prior to this, all the rest were chain drive. Shaft drive bikes behave so much different. Hard core cornering with a shaft is tricky, but great for getting off the line. My ZL1000 Eliminater is a blast to launch! My old ZX750R Ninja was a great wheelie bike, but it took effort to keep the nose down on those straight line shots. Ether way, know your bike, know your limits. Practice works with both!

But in this video, you are saying that be careful not to burn your clutch. I'm very into that theoratical part of riding a motorcycle and I would be very proud if you like to share your valuable informations about that specific topic. Thank you, great content as usual..

    Mr. Fast Eddie, could you make a video on stop and go traffic, like cars being backed up at a stop sign or a backed up highway? I've seen a lot of videos on general city riding and stuff but I haven't found one on gridlock stop and go traffic (it's not legal to lane split or filter where I live). I got stuck behind a bunch of dump trucks at a stop sign today and I couldn't figure out a way to inch forward slowly without wrestling the bike. Thanks for everything you do for the riding community!

    I won't lie. I haven't understood just how helpful the rear brake is over the front for the launch. From what I can tell, if the bike is launched and wants to wheelie, It has to go through the squating position as in using the rear brake. With the front brake however, I see it as adding an extra impediment to wheeling as there is more force down on the front tire when the Forks are dipped. So in terms of bike geometry, as far as avoiding wheelies goes, I see the front brake option as being the option most opposite to wheelie position, thereby better in that regard. The only advantage i see the rear brake has is reaction time if the bike starts to wheelie. If you've made it this far into my comment, please let me know if & where I am looking at this the wrong way.

  • @Martarts

    I think the point he was making is that the front brake causes a dip forward which may initially not cause a wheelie but then it rebounds out of the dip causing a wheelie. Whereas the rear brake doesn't cause a dip so no rebound. I could be wrong but that's how I understand it

    For me I usually get a cleaner launch when I keep my left foot under the gear changer and ready to hit second. Not sure if I could use the rear break method and have my left foot set for the shift 😮 I guess I’ll experiment. I the road conditions definitely play a role, hill, turn or whatever. I don’t usually hold the front break either. When possible, flat ground, i just tap the front break to hopefully help the car behind see my lights flash. I usually start to rev just before friction zone when I think the light is about to change. It’s really not hard to gap just about any regular vehicles from a light

    That's all good and well but the fundamental thing kids need to know is how and why to use their rear brake when coming to a stop in traffic, every time. The rear brake won't slow you down much when traveling at any sort of speed, that's what the front is for, but the rear is good for all slow maneuvers so as to not upset geometry too much thus losing stability and to also have the throttle ready when needed, assuming you are in the right gear, like you mentioned. Note, i'm a rather old guy who's been riding for decades. No expert but still alive. So far, from what I have seen your videos are all good. Cheers.

    When someone is going to hit me from the rear, while waiting in traffic, I don’t want to waste time applying the rear brake first. I’ll just take off. A far better tip (in my humble opinion) is to always make sure that you have at least 3 meters free space in front of your bike. That will give you room to move to one side, in case a car is coming from behind too fast.

    Wouldn't the lesson here be to be on your rear brake rather than your front while stopped in a situation where you might need to go quickly? So you stop using both, then you're sitting there holding in the clutch, pressing the rear and watching your mirrors and surroundings until the light changes or something changes. You aren't switching to rear, you're already on rear. Or am I misunderstanding?

    I actually just used this last night. Dumbass did that thing where he has a 100ft right turn lane and instead gets 10 feet from me and suddenly turns without stopping at the red light. I never really thought about the wheelie aspect, that's good thinking cause you can launch faster with less worry. My bike is also harder to wheelie but I'm thinking about going smaller and lighter as Fast Eddie would say so good to have these habits formed properly for any bike.

    Im gonna get another bike within the next week or two, definitely going to pay more attention to people coming up behind me. I always paid attention when I was coming to a stop, because thats how you get hit most of the time. Never thought id get hit while I was accelerating down the street because someone slammed on their gas and didnt see me. Who hits the gas in a car without looking up? I wish I wouldnt have assumed he saw me/was going to tailgate until he could pass me when the oncoming car got out of the way :/ now my bikes totaled/almost died/insurance wont pay for it
