Which foot do you place on the ground when stopping?

[kevin_stevens]

Whichever is closest.

if i am turning i put the inside foot on the ground. if i am going straight depends, if i am on a hill, i put my left down and right on brake. long lights neutral and both down.

I put both feet down sometimes, sometimes I use the right, sometimes I use the left.

I totally blanked out to this question. I put right foot, but now that I actually think about it, I use my left foot almost all the time.

Same here.

I always use my left because I habitually use both brakes simultaneously. Also, if there's an incline, I like to keep my foot on the rear brake as not to roll.

If you take the riding test here in illinois, they want to see the left foot go down first. The right foot should be on the brake. once you stop completely, then both feet can go down.

Sometime i will use the right foot depending on the grade of the road.

Ditto!

i always use my front brake to hold my bike on an incline....then when you take off, slowly release the front break as you apply throttle.....?
i RARELY use my back brake

Left foot. So you can use the rear brake to not roll, also to keep your brake light on so people behind you can see your stopped.

Totally feasible, but I suppose it's rider preference. I've done as you suggested, have used the clutch to prevent rolling back, but I always come back to leaving my right foot on the rear break. Force of habit, I suppose.

I laughed for a good minute at this. I can't believe no one else commented on this. I'm not gonna lie, I've thought and done the same thing many times in different situations

And thus the Pervert Posse is born

Well so far it looks like left handers and right handers both perfer the left foot, probabaly because of the MSF teachings. Thanks for participating in the poll even though nothing interesting was found...other than the fact that jimphunpants has a fool proof method of staring at hot chicks without them knowing.

Left foot, right handed.
