Rieju Aventura 307

Ironically trials bikes are the one type I can consistently expect to be able to get both feet down on.

I can get my feet on the ground safely on my GasGas.
Maybe helped by my 14 stones of Yorkshire goodness

And the pies.

Don't forget the pies

A balanced diet is a pie in each hand.

I always knew this was an issue for me (thought I had long legs till I started riding a bike!) but then I borrowed a mates ZX12r for a quick trip to Bristol to pick up a part for my ZZR600 and so so nearly dropped it at some lights in Bristol where the camber on the left side went down a lot more than I expected and it was also a downhill slope!!

From that day I never put my left foot down for a stop on a road I didn't know very Very well! I always put my right foot down and got pretty good at doing hill starts off the front brake because often I couldn't do the 'shuffle' and swap feet as most do!

Over here I've not noticed a major camber at most places I stop, but now I do tend to put my left foot down cos 'usually' I'd expect the camber to go to the right!

Use a very brief countersteer and release just as you nip in the clutch to get the bike leaning and that foot down.

Many riders just wobble to halt, with the bike leaning whichever way the last wobble went. Or wave a leg around and use that weight to make fall over / lean.

No idea exactly what I do (well did!) but I rarely wobbled . And definitely chose which side I would lean!! Always the other side to the lower bit of the camber
