2 finger?
just curious on how many of you, if any use just your pointer finger to use the clutch and the hand brake. I only got my hand brake a couple weeks ago and have been playing around using the one finger and the 2 finger technique. and to tell you the truth i dont know what one i like better. the one finger technique lets me hold on to the bar better though so thats what iv been using mostly.

Re: 2 finger?
if you want to be able to use the clutch and the brake at the same time you will need to use two so just get used to it , the sooner the better

+1 its akward and uncomfterablea at first, I used to do that but once I started doing circles it helps a lot for slipping and mouse trap prevention, use the 2 finger method

one finger on each lever, 2 fingers on the grip. if you do it any other way youre holding yourself back

+1 My first few HB whoolies I popped and got off the clutch and went to the HB and MikeM told me what he just told you. It took me a day to get comfortable doing it the right way. What I did to learn the coordination of using the clutch/HB together is I skidded around the lot on two wheels. Pull the clutch in with your pointer finger and then use your middle finger to mash on the brakes and powerslide into a turn - like you're sliding into a drift. Thats the easiest safest way to make sure that you got clutch/hb on lock. Then from there it's just building up the finger muscles while using the scissor in a wheelie. Do it.

1 on each it'd be kinda hard using 2 for the brake and 1 for the clutch and only have 2 fingers to hold on with
