Prefer this one, would probably do most of us some good to give it a watch, the filtering advice from 3.20 is a bit different though!

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe it's when you have the bike in neutral at a junction or lights, and are holding the bike by your left foot, with the right on the brake, and so have to hop onto the right foot to kick it into gear, then go back (sometimes) onto the left to re-apply the rear brake?
And yes, i do this sometimes and often think how comical it may look from the car behind Thumbs Up Mr. Green Thumbs Up

This is why people are taught to leave the bike in 1st when waiting at lights/junctions nowadays. You can just pop the left foot down, keep the right up on the rear brake in the safety position, and you don't need to do the silly shuffle.

Yes you're right. It's so that the brake is always applied, either with the right foot or right hand. I believe started in the past as with the clutches used back in the day it wasn't a good idea to hold in the clutch with bike in gear for any length of time. Can still be advisable but now not actually required as part of the test.

I saw a 'Hendon wobble' once at the junction of the A12 and A13.

Stage 1, left foot down, right foot on rear brake. Look around at lawbreaking scum with arrogant sneer, admire own reflection in mirrors.

Stage 2, right foot down, left foot up and he thinks he's popped it into gear but it obviously hasn't gone in properly. Listen out for radio messages in case of chance to put woo woos on and jump red light.

Stage 3, left foot back down right foot returns to rear brake pedal. Double check in mirrors to see still looking good.

Stage 4, Rozzer revs the engine, lets the clutch lever out, lifts his feet and moves absolutely nowhere. Rapid replanting of feet, fighting to hold bike up and quick look round to see if anyone has noticed.

I was told to always apply the rear brake when at a stand still in case of a rear end at low speeds. I understand that neither brake will really help a great deal if you are hit, but possibly the rear could allow for more control, where as the front may result in a pivot over the front wheel?
That's the theory anyway...I'm not sure what the effect of each brake would be in the event of an actual rear end collision...perhaps someone with such experience could enlighten us?

And i'll only knock it into neutral when I'm at traffic lights that i know are on red for a long time. And even then i usually just plant both feet and hold the front brake if i've got a couple of cars stationary behind me.
