Bad Habits...

[offcamber]

I have all the bad habits above....I took the MSF about 16 years ago and it was a good experience for me. However I was super green so I absorbed everything they told me.  I use two fingers on the brake because four will cause a drop in a quick stop. Pre-ride check consists of does it have gas...it starts....see ya....I have left my signal  on, on to many occasions....this one I need to break. I guess that's about it..

One thing I can say about the MSF...driving over a board has been a useful skill some of the roads around here are crap.

Getting through a UK bike test is pretty tough, so as yet my habits are limited to being too quick sometimes and I also cancel my indicator every 10 seconds while riding.

You have to cover your rear brake at all times when doing a test though, so common practice is only ever use the left foot on the floor.

I don't see these as bad habits:

- one foot at a stop light
- cancelling the turn signal switch compulsively


If I'm parking with the sidestand, I use the sidestand to turn off the bike.  I pull up, flip the sidestand down to shut the bike off, and then take the key out.

I have a bad habit of always tearing @$$ at stoplights while cars next to me have their windows down.  Is that bad?

Farting is natural.

So, did that get her to:
a) Have sex with guys.
b) Answer your questions.
or
c) Ride her bike home.

I use the term "lesbian" as a derogatory.  
Abrasive, militant, self-absorbed, conceited near-menopausal ex-hooker would be a better description.  
She had a young scooter girl in tears over how to use the clutch, confusing the crap out of her and yelling.  Physically pushed her off the bike, as she was getting off - with only one leg on the ground, to "show" her how to use it.  

So, yeah, I wish I could have done more.  
And I think, yes, she got a ride home that day from a "helpful" 20-something 6 ft male.  
The next day, she rode in on her chromed-out Vrod with a turtle-shell helmet and a vest to collect bugs in her cleavage.

I constantly forget to turn the damn directional off. Luckily, cars don't give a shaZam! whether I use my signal or not, so it bothers no one. 

The rolling stop thing is hard to resist. I don't actually roll, but I do 'stop' often when no one else is at the stop sign without ever actually putting my feet on the ground. Is that a rolling stop? Its more of a balancing -stop.

It's all about balance and clutch control with that. I do the same at stop signs.

Don't know about being a Bad habit... but yeah, I'm OCD about the turn signal. I can be 15 minutes onto a highway and I'll still hit the off button. Five minutes later I'll hit it again.

When parking the bike, I always switch the gear into neutral before flipping the side stand - and then finally shutting the engine off with the key.  Don't know where/when I picked this one up.

I wish i had a bad habit about turning off my signals, i always leave them on for way too long.
