Stopping a Motorcycle in the Shortest Distance
Stopping a Motorcycle in the Shortest Distance. In this video, I explore how to stop a motorcycle in shortest distance. Stopping a motorcycle in the shortest distance can mean the difference between being safe and potentially getting into an accident with a car or another motorcycle. Stopping a motorcycle in the shortest distance requires practice and applying pressure to both brakes to threshold. Stopping a motorcycle in the shortest distance using threshold braking means applying constant pressure to both brakes just to the point before you would lock up the tires. If you lock up your tires when stopping a motorcycle in the shortest distance, you then will not stop in the shortest distance as you have lost traction during the skid.
Stopping a motorcycle in the shortest distance requires practice in a controlled environment so that the braking becomes muscle memory.
