Das wichtigste Werkzeug beim Motorradfahren: deine rechte Hand
The right hand is one of the most important tools when riding a motorcycle. It determines throttle, brake, modulation, composure, and control. In this video, I'll show you how I use my right hand on the road and on the track: why I almost always have my index finger on the brake lever, when I brake with one finger, when with two, and why this position gives me more control, better reaction time, and finer throttle modulation. There isn't just one right way. This is my personal approach based on many track miles and a lot of experience on the road. Perhaps there's something here that will help you ride more relaxed, smoothly, and consciously. Feel free to write in the comments how you use your right hand: four fingers, two fingers, one finger, or something else entirely?
