hey dont be scared! overcome your phobia ! hee ... i was like you too.. then when i taking 2a, i struggled abit at fig 8 then instructor pillion me. like that nevermind, after that my timing still cannot make it. then instructor go and chase me from behind make me scream heee !

 

but in my opinion better buang at figure 8 rather than buang at e-brake. e-brake until now also i phobia hee !

 

yeah!!! at first im okay cos like it feels like riding bicycle and bending low actually doesnt feel scary at all! and then somehow my stupid right hand itchy pull throttle abit more then buang liao. or maybe i subconciously pull cos u know when turning the bike ur hand also moves??? i dunno. after that i super scared of everything keep dropping bike =.=

how was e-brake for you? i got some tips online that says MAKE SURE UR HANDLEBARS ARE STRAIGHT. i think e-brake is very impt on the road cos u dunno when some stupid car will jam brake infront of u...

Really need to maintain throttle for figure 8. If not sure fly. Tap rear brake for speed control.

Ebrake need to lock arms when braking. If not ye handlebars will turn and you fall. More pressure on front brake and make sure you brake gradually.

i see i will keep in mind about the throttle. it seems to be the problem here. so meaning even when im slanting i can tap rear brake?

hi all. thanks for ur advices.

 

actually i fell down hard during my 1st lesson of fig8(was travelling too fast, pulled front brake and rear too sudden and striked kerb. lost control and dropped suddenly) and injured my left feet till it was swollen and limping for 2 days as i can't walk properly haha! 2nd lesson was more of overcoming the phobia and building up my confidence again i guess.

 

today pract3 passed with 10.0+ s! even tho i took more lessons for my individual practs but i made friends with fellow bikers and encouragements from one another do really help. hi delwyn! :)

 

instructor today was good and challenged me to throttle more and i just went zoom zoom zoom as confidence built up over previous 2 lessons alrdy.

 

told myself i wont give up so easily! +u fellow learners :) almost there for the 2B.
