CDC Bike Learner

fredeee, I found this thread..

I only know that my platoon mates had to attend this course before they could ride into camp back when I was in NS.

 

But now Class 2B incorporate the 3 DRT lesson. Dunno if its the same thing?

theory and practical different i guess.....

thanks for pointing me to the thread....wah, but it's from 2007, not sure if still the same now.

anyway, the one at ssdc sounds damn thrilling man. interesting skills to pick up.

not sure if cdc does similar stuff. cos the one @bbdc is kinda different.

i saw one of the instructors playing inside fig.8 with left arm behind his back before....

maybe he was warming up for DRC

quite amazing to see them when they are playing on their bikes :bow:

Rain today. Wet and Cold and constantly drizzling. Road is slippery.

 

Somemore have to do Figure 8. Did not fall, but engine stalled and bike fell to the side. Timing still not good enough.

 

However, the instructor gave a stamp for lesson 3. He told those who pass to concentrate on Lesson 4 and then brush up during Circuit revision. I guess Figure 8 is 1 place to improve for me.

some how duplicate post.

 

any tips for lesson 4?

 

Please don't tell me about reading the guide book etc. Many things not written down and sometimes it helps to see it from an experienced rider.

Lesson 4 consist of 3 part, Narrow plank, Sylum (short snake course) and lastly e-brake.

 

The whole lesson 4, the hardest part should be narrow plank and sylum. To pass narrow plank u need to clock up more then 6sec on the plank before coming out of the plank itself. Some tips ppl will give is to keep ur knee grip the tank, give a good trottle up the plank and half clutch throughout the course. only use rear brakes to slow down, look straight and dont look on the plank or else u will drop. that's some small small tips la.. Remember, it's immediate failure if u drop down the plank during ur TP test.

 

For sylum, just trottle and kick gear 2 and clear the s-course, somewhat like a snake moving. But! remember not to hit the cones also, it is also immediate failure if u hit the cones.

 

Lastly, e-brakes it's just to wack ur brakes lo... at low speed of 30-35km/hr... E-brake onli haf immediate failure if u brake and haf ur right foot land on the floor first. Else the rest is posture or technics points.

 

Good luck for ur lesson 4. It's not as hard as lesson 3 Cheers!

very well said

I take prac 4 three times cos keep failing e-brake! That was the hardest for me. My bike keep skidding and tires squealing then the instructors dont let me pass.

 

Bike no ABS braking, cannot whack the brake. Must be controlled or else bike will skid.

Look straight ahead, dont look down.

Clutch in when almost stop.

Bike stall nevermind. As long as you show intent to clutch in.

Maintain hand on front brake until ready to move off.

i think the bike will skid or.. like "tad tad tad" coz either front or rear press too much

for me... just apply front brakes.

rear brake just put your foot on the brake lever.. not need use strenght

i think u must practise until u get the amount of brake to apply...

when right red line just press the front brake hard so just nice stop.

that's how i get it.

maybe other ppl got other ways?

Guys, I taking prac 5 on Wed. Whats the procedure like?

 

when I doing lesson 3 already got ambitious people asking lesson 4~5 already.

 

Apparently Lesson 5 is like a summation of lessons 1~4. motorcycle handling, lane change, signal and head checks, all circuit items.

 

The instructor brief the people by running through the circuit on the black board then all go and run through the items one by one.

 

When you practicing, you will encounter other groups doing prac 1~4, during such occasions, the instructors present will also note your performance and inform you if you are not up to par, like forget to check back, never signal, timing not good enough.

when is your next tp bro?

[barbaricboon]

Just want to check with u guys. Is it normal for CDC 2B learners to take more than 3mths to clear Defensive riding theory?? Last I check there are ZERO slots from 01 Aug till 31 Oct. If a person is lucky enough to book all 3 lesson in the mth of Nov, he will still wait ard 2 more mth for TP. That is a total of 6mths plus WAITING time.
