I hope I wont roll off the plank on 17 April....

The trick to clearing the plank is to look far (the end of the plank, not the front of your bike's tyre), grip both your legs to the tank but not too hard plus your clutch and throttle control. Clutching out and opening of throttle must be in sync. Same with clutching in and closing of throttle. Must be just enough to get the bike to move slowly... :goodluck:

Your throttle control is not good enough and you are proibably too tensed up.

 

If you are u-turning without stopping, then close your throttle as you come to the turn lean and turn, then open throttle slowly as you make the turn.

 

Dont use your handlebars to turn. use lean angle instead.

 

What works for one may not for another so practice and see what works best for you. of course make sure that what works for you is also safe.

Turn your head and look at the direction you want to go when you're U-turning. Lean more as well... :goodluck:

You still learning 2B is it? Let's follow the book :cheeky: ... make sure you're in the centre of the lane then turn your head and look into the centre of the other lane you wanna turn to. Maintain your throttle...don't play with the throttle while turning. Personally I find it easier to U turn in 2nd gear than 1st gear.

Just like when on the track too.... you really go where you look.

 

Those who go track will know exactly what I mean.

Practicing the cornering and turning only, bro. Not the racing. :btw: I'm no longer working in Woodlands. Now, working in Hougang which is so very near my place. No long roads to blast... :sweat:

My tenant, has been whining away at me, threatening to move out, insisting that i compensate her one month's rental plus the deposit. And to pay for her transport costs.

 

And she hasnt file in this month rent yet, and she was always late in her payment.

 

I am having a headache & a slight fever now.

 

While getting a mug of hot cammomile tea in the kitchen, my sister walked in very angry and upset. She was pissed off by our baby brother for saying things proving his self centredness. (We all know he is self centred, but as indulgent elder sisters, we have always turn one blind eye to it.)

 

He finally made her angry enough this time. And she approves my original plans to employ thugs to break his legs.

 

I am typing under the influence of drugs & cammomile tea. :cheeky:
