Sorry to hear about what happen to you bro.

I'm taking my TP next week @ BBDC.

 

Just to clarify something, do we get to choose our bike (any) or only used the few bikes used by the first group?

if i rem correctly, u dun get to choose ur bike. only the first group that takes the tp first get to choose from the available bikes allocated for the test. the latter groups will just be handed down with any bike that just completed the tp according to the test number.

 

to TS: hope u r recoverin well. i understand ur point, some bikes are just not good to start off with. next time when riding, if u suspect any problem to ur bike, just be extra careful and go slow. good luck for ur next tp!

[mezan]

So liddat, if the first group choose a problematic bike, the latter groups won't able to change it? Must be prepare to extra precautions.

usually during the warm up the instructors let out alot of bikes. but after that once the warm up over they ask to park some bikes at starting point and the other to park at their places. the ones at the starting point are the ones being used for the test.

[prettymussel]

just be mentally prepared that u will be getting a crappy bike for ur test..

 

most of the time u wont be able to choose the bike u prefer for ur tp, be it 2b, 2a or 2.

(at least, at cdc there is no choosing, dunno abt other centres)

 

so during ur normal pracs, no point having a so-called favourite bike..

in fact u can practise using the crappiest looking bike n adapting to it..

 

most "crappy" bikes at the centres are still fit to be ridden, just that maybe the sensitivity of the brake/clutch/throttle might be a little weird.

 

still, if u wanna be a gd rider u gotta adapt i guess..

[donhxw]

from what i read, i think ur rear wheel locks cause the rear drum brake is damp, most likely due to morning condensation or maybe water splash in during the practice round at the e brake area... guessing this is ur first tp? sometimes **** happens... so be prepared i guess... first time i took 2b, it took me 8 tries to pass.... blamed the bike too... when got revoked for speeding and went for tp again a year later, i pass on first try... sometimes we concentrate on the bike too much and neglect to adapt to the situation... anyway... the new megapro bikes at bbdc are alot better compared to the cg125 i used during my first tp back in 2007... more power, better response and easy gear change, compared to the old cg125...

 

anyway good luck for ur next tp and hope to see u on the road soon.. cheers!

oh damn.

 

so how, i suppose you gotta retake tp again?

(PS: Additional point to note, reiterating the many posts in SBF and throughout the internet about wearing protective gear; try to take the advice, saves you a lot of pain. Sleeve and glove tore, otherwise minor to insignificant scratches and abrasions. The knock to my foot, rib and hip wasn't so pleasant however... Tsk. Boots are starting to look like a very good investment.)

 

Hope you recover fast bro.

Get a good glove to protect your hands when you riding. Maybe this starter kit is good for u.

I used bike 39 yesterday.

Used the Rear brake okay only.

Maybe they fixed it ?idk

[Jeethan]

just now was in bbdc for my 2A lesson. then my bike side mirror was broken so i was asked to send it to the garage and take a new bike. then over there saw the bike 39. maybe they are repairing it.

[Lou]

bike 36 forks bent.

[Rye]

Haha.. thats harsh, UBI CDC the bikes no different, just passed my tp there yesterday, the bike i was using the brakes squeaking like a ***** and the brakes tended to lock up, E- brake skid like **** but fun.. haha... UBI CDC DON'T USE BIKE 48 FOR TP TEST.

[loufu]

not sure about now.. last time taking at SSDC, during warm up round

if u unhappy wif the bike u can request to change the bike... provided there is still xtra bike.. haha...

[SNapEl]

Sorry to say this but TS, your braking technique is wrong.

Plus, if you knew that your braking (doesn't matter if its the bike or you) is faulty, you should have gone slower.

 

Not saying that you deserved to fail, but just 2 cents of pointers.

 

Better luck next time!

you do not get to choose and yes you only use the few bikes used by the first group. same goes for class2a and class2.
