[SURVEY]: How many fingers do you use for pressing the front brake ??

[NANOtechnology]

hello everyone..
i wanted to know how many fingers do each one of you use to press the front brake..
disk brake helps to stop even with a single finger..

i use 2.
i know Valentino Rossi uses 3..
Colin Edwards uses 1..

i want to know how many Indian bikers use.

Survey approved.

For me there is no thumb rule. It depends on how and where I am riding. In bumper to bumper traffic, i use only 1 finger, otherwise 3.

No specific answer here as it depends on the riding condition & traffic. Anyway, I assume its between normal braking & hard braking for voting.

i have extensively practiced with the 2 finger and i use 2 fingers for both brake and clutch .. it worked very well for me and it avoids panic hard braking

My aging KB100 and Jawa get all the four fingers of my right hand involved in any attempt to stop/slowdown the front wheel

Two fingers usually work for me in all kinds of situations.

Nice idea for a poll though

[satyenpoojary]

Interesting survey but no votes casted from me....

I use two fingers most of the time, I use one finger to slow down or to be ready to slow down during intersections or known 'surprise' areas... I use four fingers to panic break!

[vishnuu]

genrally 2, occasionally 3

[riazmomin]

depends on speed that I am .... its 2 or 3. Mostly 2.

thanks for approving sunil...
i always use 2, as the grip of the hand is also important, some people use 4, but what about the grip of the handlebar??

[imjoshee]

IMHO, 2 fingers should be the ideal one. But again it would differ from person to person & riding conditions as Sunilg mentioned.

I use two, but i use Middle and Ring finger.

[burnrubbernotursoul]

i use 3 normally. and if i had to brake hard sometimes i use 4. i tried braking with 2 fingers but iam not comfortable with 2.

[smoker n doper]

@ TS : how would it help you if a bunch of guys use 2 fingers and other bunch of guys who use 3 fingers and there are many who use a single finger.

No offence brother , but i dint get the purpose of such a thread ?
if 40% people would answer 2 and 40% answers 3 fingers and 10% says 1 and the remaining 10% say 4 fingers !!
how would it make a difference to you ?

P.S : Just go with your intinct and use the fingers accordingly...

and BTW FYI i use middle finger. breaking
