Do you cover your brakes?

[cowasockee]

I was talking to a feller today and he said he never covers his front brake. Do you? I tend to cover mine more on surface streets. I rarely do on the interstate unless my "idiot radar" turns on.

I do mostly in town or if I'm riding at a good pace.

I think I do unconsciously if I sense I'm in a position to need the brake within the next few seconds - whether it happens or not - sort of precautionary. (in traffic definitely - also in parking areas and gas stations probably)

[Hoosier]

I do when I'm rolling thru intersections and coming up on someone that may pull out in front of me or is driving erratically.

Pretty much any time I feel like there is a chance I may need to brake which is most of the time. Basically the only time I don't is if I'm droning down the highway

[willn2bikes]

I would cover my front brake around town, and not on the highway ( If I had a Bike)

[crazylegs]

when i cross intersections only...

[unpredictable419]

I took my brakes off. the v-twin has enough engine braking for me. we dont need no stinking brakes.

Totally depends on the existing traffic and conditions around me wherever I am. Usually do in town.

I'll cover my front brake with a couple of fingers in town and intersections if I'm moving along. But the rest of time I just scratch my balls
