Falling off lever

Yes I call the front brake the falling off lever when you are slow riding. I have mentioned this several times on other  posts.

However here is a demonstration:

Thanks to UK Police for this demonstration

Completely agree about the falling off lever.

This is quite a good article.

I'm not as secure as others about vilifying the front brake. 
Maybe it's all the mtb riding but it works for me.
Gentle dragging of the front brake actually provides a righting force opposite of the direction of the bars so if you are leaning a bit too far inside, it stands the bike up with no effort. Ymmv. Learn everything about your bike. Some rules can be bent!
Controls are called that for a reason.

Sorry guys I was trying to attached a video which was restricted. I now have it all ok so here goes with a demonstration of the "Falling Off Lever" courtesy of the UK Police.

It works now

I have done that on a boxer twin but it wasnt the front brake. For all the BMW peoples talk of the low down torque on these engines I found that below 2k rmp they just stall and lock the back wheel and down you go. The only other bike I have stalled more than once was a 1970 two stroke but I must of stalled my 1150 RS half a dozen times.
