[S-Line]

Thanks for the updates...

 

Btw, where will the practical session be held moving off from Ulu Pandan CC?

 

Mount Senai road...Ulu Pandan...Clementi ...Dover....?

 

Just curious or should I say to get myself pre-oriented before the event.

[endlessloop]

Ha ha ha, S-Line. No need to pre-orientate 'cas I haven't figure out the route yet.

 

All bikes please fuel-up for at least 50km of ride. Please bring rain gear in case of rain.

 

Do come with some "burning questions" to ask 'cas given the amount of time, we can only cover a fraction of total safety knowledge. So do ask something that you really want to know.

[anodise57]

Good job endless and ZH once again!!! saw the pics... sucessful!!!!

 

Many more HOVs to come....

[soma]

Learnt a lot...big thanks to all for organising it

[ashrobo]

Thanks to endless, pplater and all the people who helped out!

[chuan.z]

thanks to endless, pplater n the helpers for taking the time n effort to organize this n spread the message of safe riding...

n ausa as sweeper in our convoy...

[lao uncle]

On the 8th Nov morning all participants arrived at the Ulu pandan CC. The morning lecture was conducted by Endlessloop with Shirley as Lady Friday who set up the computer and projector.

 

They are assisted by many bikers from Moto-V. Thank you all for your time.

 

After a brief introduction by all the participants. The leader asked what we want to know during this short briefing. Everyone contributed at least a question/reason that they want to gain by attending this lecture.

 

From what I had learnt are to:

 

1. Anticipate Hazards on the road, ahead, from the sides and from behind.

 

2. Give yourself some time, ahead of the meeting time so you would not have to rush. When you are late and you rush to your destination you will tend to neglect you surrounding. You will not be as observant as when you are more relax and not rushing for time.

 

3. Scanned your surrounding for danger, look at behavior of drivers through car window and the movement of the cars around you. Do not day dream.

 

4. Learnt what is you coocon of space. How to creat your coocon of space. What to do when someone intrude into you coocon of space. Of all the lesson learnt, this is the most important (to me).

 

5. There are many other which is just like a good old revision.

 

After the lecture part is the practical lesson. Class is divided into 3 groups due to the large class size. The leader for the first two group is lead by Endlessloop, while the 3 group is by Pplater.

 

The sweepers are Victor Tan and Ausa.

 

During this part the leader talk to the rest of the convey by walkietalkie all the things that a biker should observe while riding. Pointers were giving even on seemly minor thing which I took for granted.

 

After everyone of the convey members have taken turn as 2nd rider we then return to the lecture room while the 2nd group take their turn in the practical ride.

 

After we return to the lecture room a short video presentation was given, this time by Pplater. Video of traffic accidents. One of them that caught my eye is the guy who look at other accident did not look infront. Bang into the back of the bus.

 

The whole thing finished at about 2pm.

 

What was missing?

I think is the introducing of safety gear to those who still do not use them.

 

Thank the team for giving their time to make this lecture interesting reminding us the safety aspect of using our busy Singapore road. If anyone who by attending this lecture and miss been a accident target, then the team had done their lesson.

 

During this 5 hours, what has I learnt. Many, aspecially on safety.

[Advrider]

Good to meet new friends and learning another aspect of riding. Myself and partner do learn something new. Strongly recommended for everybody who rides........................

[THE BEAST]

Met new friends and familiar faces, we shared experience and chat.

 

I strongly recommend to Probationary rider.. This workshop makes you better aware of the potential hazards (so that you can react early) from before the start of your journey, to your destination.

 

As for the more experience rider, an eye opener/revision.

 

My thanks to all that is involved.

Truly a worthwhile experience. :thumb:

[dragonforce]

excellent course.. notes were provided, equipments (walkie talkies) were borrowed to us so that we can listen to endlessloop/pplater giving pointers when on the road.. overall very well organised..

[s4dreamer]

I really found the HOV session very helpful! Thanks to endlessloop, pplater and those who helped out in other ways too!

 

What was really helpful for me in this session was the part when Endlessloop shared about the art of lane changing on expressways - looking for pockets of space and leaving a safety cocoon for myself. In the past, I felt that I was constantly tailgated on the expressways. But after I adopted Endlessloop's method, I find myself relaxing and enjoying my ride even more!

 

I hope that HOV can be conducted on a larger scale so that more riders will be able to benefit from it!! :thumb:

[anodise57]

Eh...... Larger scale is more dangerous .... the participants wouldnt be able to see or note what Endless is saying cos the convoy be really long...

 

In smaller groups but proceed in turn will be more beneficial...

 

Am i right 0_0 endless?

[endlessloop]

Quite a number of riders who attended the HOV session think that the session will benefit more riders and that more riders should attend. I think this is what S4^Dreamer ( can I call myself 4D^Dreamer? ) meant by a larger scale.

 

Thanks for your honest feedback! Looking at how to improve for future sessions.

 

At the same time, Ano, I also agree with you that the convoy cannot be large because the participants benefit more in a smaller convoy. So it seems that we do need more HOV safety instructors.

[anodise57]

invite instructor from schools?? ahahhahaha

[devil-suzy]
