Should You ALWAYS Cover Brakes and Clutch?

Should we always cover the brakes and the clutch while riding? Some people say yes, all the time, because anything can happen at any moment. We never know when we'll need our brakes and clutch, so we must be prepared at all times. Other people say no, because we might inadvertently grab the brakes, it's uncomfortable, and it can lead to numb hands, among other reasons. So, which one is true? The truth is that there is no absolute truth! As usual, there are pros and cons. Instead of trying to impose some stupid rigid rule about always keeping our hands on the controls, which would only be suitable for 50% of riders 50% of the time – it would be much better if I outline which situations can benefit from one approach or the other. With this information, you can decide what suits you the most.

A little info about me. My name is Andrei Bodrov, originally I'm from Moscow, Russia, and now I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Back in Moscow I was a motorcycle instructor and creator of Moto Control Beginner & Advanced motorcycle rider courses, which quickly became the most popular courses in Moscow (well, at least the advanced one😁). My advanced training course makes emphasis on slow speed riding techniques at first (such as good clutch and throttle control, proper riding posture, proper use of vision, etc.), then proceeds to more advanced techniques (such as aggressive braking, trail braking, maximal lean angle). The course incorporates a lot of exercises from DOSAF slow speed riding (similar to police rodeo like motorcycle training in USA), braking and cornering exercises and motogymkhana style riding. And now, since I actively learn English - I decided to post some useful videos for both your and mine practice!😉
