i'm not quite sure that he understood, but i think i confused him enough to get out of a ticket.
in thinking about it, a full stop on a motorcycle is completed only if you come to a full stop and put at least one foot down....
i'm not sure about bicycles however.....good point, i'll research it for myself..
