[Discussion] What's bugging you now?

[angel22]

I don't feel like going for the RC which I had booked for tmr evening after work.

[Guest ViciousKitty74]

errrmmm....I am soo much shorter then the bike.

 

So when I stopped, I usually has to move my backside off the seat on the left so My Feet can touch the ground

 

The important thing is. when you stopped, your bike tank is leaning on your left thigh? That would be a accurate gauge of 'gripping the tank'?

 

I think what everyone is trying to say that, When you are attempting to stop, your legs needs to be gripping the tank just before you stops. Dont anticipate to stop by opening your tighs to let your left foot down earlier then necessary.

[Metalfyre]

Eh...i normally put my foot down after stopping leh. Unless I chiu cheng...which is quite often..lol. Try placing your eyeline on a distant object in front of your stopping objective as you brake. Just before your bike comes to a complete stop your foot can start to come down liao.

Alright... Thanks guys for all of your inputs! I will bear in mind when I head down for my RC tomorrow!

that a 23 year old SIngapore male will be visiting USA Southern California with his 2 friends of his age.

 

And he msn-ned me and is totally clueless about how big and expensive USA is.

 

I ask him for budget: He say he can spend.

 

I ask him for details: he gave me details that showed he really really clueless about USA. Its size, its food, its culture, its distances & the possible jet lag problems!

 

And he claims to want to take cab from LAX to Disneyland by sharing cab with his friends. he has no idea that the cab ride is mostly going to eat up all the cash they have on them even before they spend on their holidays!

 

He thinks he is in KL argh? grab a cab, go city very cheap?

 

I was sighing a lot at his naivity. And he got fed up and finally went: Nevermind. Sorry to borther you.

 

Well, since he can spend. So why borther asking about his stupidity?

That's a 23 year old for you.

 

To be old and wise, you must first be young and dumb.

oh well, the difference between a young man and a old man is that...

 

A young man thinks he is wise but actually dumb,

 

Whereas...

 

A old man is wise and is really wise... Hopefully...

 

 

Not to worry... everyone has to go through that!! We learn, we learn.

Its like buying a superbike.

 

You know deep down inside you cannot handle it nor ride it to the limits of the capabilities it was designed for, yet you would still want to own one if you can afford.

 

Simply and only simply you want one coz it boosts your ego and makes you feel good. You like to bask in the rays of achievement... of owning something people will drool over.

 

Having a good looking girlfriend or boyfriend provokes the same emotions of well being.... that's why we keep coming back even though we crash so many times before.

 

Such is life.

What to do... As the chinese saying goes... "If the boy isn't bad, girls won't like..."!

 

It's kind of sad... Isn't a man's worth is based on his character?

 

Wah wah... good guys no chance liao...

I really need help on the stopping part... How you guys can estimate so well so as to be able to land your left foot nicely when stopping??

 

Really !!

Dun try to use your leg to slow down a bike, or act as a 'side wheel', and do apply the 70/30 braking technique for braking.

 

When you feel like your bike is not going to stop in time, putting down your leg is not going to help. Some people have this automatic reaction of putting the leg down. Apply more braking power!

 

Train your braking and balance till you can trust them. Put down your leg down only when bike is almost or at complete stop, just before the front fork push your handlebar up.

 

Hope these helps.

Thanks for your input! Really appreciate that! Especially advice coming from a experience rider!

 

I will bear in mind and hopefully I can pass my test the next time round!

Pretty boys. Can see cannot touch.

 

 

hmm... Or did you put your right leg down or both legs down? Coz after you stop only your left leg down, right leg still stays on. Anyway, good luck.
