So you don't think it's important to be relaxed WHILE riding the bike and under emergency braking, only if you and the bike get separated?
But what happens if you are holding on to the handlebars tightly while riding or emergency braking? Does that have any negative effect, or do you think it is necessary for maintaining control of the motorcycle?
