Overview 2: The location of the primary controls
The primary controls are manipulated by your hands and feet.
They control your ability to turn, accelerate, shift, and brake.
The primary controls are displayed below.

The primary controls are the: handlebars, throttle, clutch, gearshift, front brake and rear brake.

The info above isn’t too helpful in remembering where these controls are located,
so how about we look at them like this? We will split the bike into it’s left and right side components.

Now, we can remember the left side has the shifting controls — the clutch and the gearshift.

The right side has the speed controls — the throttle (controlled by the right hand)
and brakes (right fingers control the front brake, right foot the rear brake)
.

Simple and functional. We will discuss the primary controls in more detail later, but for now,
you know there they are located, and are ready to move on.

Lets look at what your thumbs control.  Use Next button here or on menu list.
