Hi, another excellent training clip 👍 I have a question... in your ‘gears’ video, you mention avoid stopping in a high gear and instead make every effort to get down to first, otherwise it can be tricky to do so from a high gear in a stationary position. Is this just something you have to forget about and worry about after the emergency stop, once you’re safe and the heartbeat has returned to normal? Or have I misunderstood the avoid stopping in high gear thing? All your vids are proving in valuable as I continue my transition from scooter cbt to a geared 125 around the quiet leafy suburbs of Chandlers Ford 👍 🏍 Thanks!

In an emergency the last thing to worry about is gears, although you'll find it becomes second nature the more you ride. I have to make a conscious effort NOT to change gear when demonstrating the emergency stops! In a real emergency focus on braking hard without losing control then, once you've stopped, make sure the clutch is pulled in, check over your left shoulder and paddle the bike quickly to the side of the road. Once you're safe there, worry about getting the bike down the gearbox. 👍

@@Lets-rideUk Thanks for getting back, excellent advice, that’s pretty much what I had thought. Thinking about it, I can’t remember the last time I performed an emergency stop in the car - after thirty-plus years of driving you often know when someone will do something daft before they do! Hopefully this ‘road sense’ has transferred across when on the bike - albeit with a necessary heightened sense of one’s vulnerability. But yep, the techniques in your video are invaluable for getting to grips with bike control under heavy braking. Thanks again 👍

I’m doing my cbt in a few days, and i’m doing it on a moped, when u emergency stop do you let go of the throttle instantly then hold the front and back ?
