Am I sensing a bit of sarcasm? Lol.
@misfitsalior - yes, sometimes I do use the front brake to flash. However, I like to lean back a little with only left hand holding the clutch lever. If I'm at a long light, I shift up to N and sit back to relax and only shift back down to 1st when I see a vehicle approaching on my 6.
It's weird, I racked up over 4000 miles on my bicycles when I lived in NYC (commuted) and I almost always unclip and put my right foot down.
The only time I really put my right foot down on a motorbike is when I'm stopped at a light or at any strip mall exit and have to make a sharp right turn immediately from a stop. This way, I can lean the bike a bit even before I have to accelerate out to make that sharp 90 degree turn. Makes the turn so much easier and so much tighter (at least for me).
