Hi All , very pleased to be your acquaintance .
I just join tis forum to get to know the rider community more better, their experiences and advices they share here. Very useful and at the same time fun.
I am also current a 2B student at SSDC, signed up mid of Jan 2015. Currently going for my prac 6 next week on the 8th Apr .My path ascending up the prac lessons is not that superb. See my milestones below:-
Prac 1 - 2x , Prac 2 - 3 x( narrow plank cannot master well) , Prac 3 a - 2 x , Prac 3b - 2x ....
Prac 4 - assessment(S) - 5 times!! - no 1 - 1 IF ( being confused, ride on plank without instructor signal)
no 2 - no IF but 24 points , blinds spots, slow figure 8 , crank course,
no 3 - 1 IF ( footed at crank course) ,& 12 points
no 4 - tis one disaster! lost control of bike at e brake and "buang"(flew off bike), later injured my right elbow became swollen , 2 weeks cannot ride bike .
reason of fall - too fast , too hard braking , back tyre flipped and bike crashed. luckily helmet stayed on my head. My right elbow guard may have loosen
and went below my elbow, thus when I fell on my right shoulder , right elbow hit the ground hard...ADOI!!. was in pain for 2 weeks .
LESSON LEARN -1) no need to be speed too fast during e brake , open throttle short distance on gear 1 and 2 , on gear 3 MAINTAIN throttle all the way till reaction
line.
2) ensure that your paddings and helmet is properly strapped and in place, esp b4 attempting e -brake test, just in case things go wrong,
no 5 - after 2 weeks and afew CR , Passed - 6 points !!
Prac 5 - My most surprised result - passed in 1 attempt.. So still got a few more to cover...looking back its a truly an educational journey,
Next up - Prac 6 - on the 8 April ...
