2015-06-09 9 Dailymotion

Motorcycling could give you the adrenaline rush that you’ve always wanted.

But riding a motorcycle is not the only thing that you need to learn. Knowing how to apply brakes properly is just as important, as this can be the difference between safety and danger.

Ignorance could lead you to being wiped out in the corner, injured, or even lifeless.

You can avoid any of these by

• Applying rear brakes gently especially of you’re driving at a high speed. This helps you slow down smoothly.
• Never hitting the brakes when you’re in a curve, as this can lead your motorcycle to lose traction, which will then cause it to slip.
• Enrolling in a special course that will teach you the cornering and braking skills that you need.
