[SSDC] Class 2B (2010)

[lips]

May the girl get well soon.

 

Back to topic, RTT went smoothly. Time for the rest!

[Silverelf]

Arggh I guess speed control has always been my achilles heel and probably will always be. Had to have constant reminders to let go of the clutch a bit more

[lips]

you never let go completely at which gear? 1? plank?

Gear 1. I'm still in mini circuit

[lips]

Hmmm, gear 1 I will just half clutch all the way. It's not easy to let go totally. Or do you mean biting point?

[Biri.Kecil]

Hi anyone can advise on prac 6 ? Would like to know the sequence of this lesson...

prac 6 the instructor will bring u round the test route once. After that he will point on your mistakes. Then u are on your own, they will follow u through the test route. Remember to stop at those 2 waiting points. As long as u dont have any immediate failure u will pass.

It's the half clutch thing. I never release enough of the clutch to get to half clutch I think hahaha, probably because I am worried about going too fast. Instructor had to pillion me and ask me to stare at how much he release the clutch

 

I think my main problem is being a chicken. Too worried about going too fast to handle so I end up being too slow and that's horrible to control. I also get stressed out if there are many other bikes near me. Certainly need more practice to get used to all the hand and leg coordination required. Hopefully once I get used to all the hand and legwork, it won't be as tough.

u at lesson 1? to me lesson 1 is the hardest. I use to cycle bicycle a lot when I was a kid, so fig 8, crank, slalom and narrow plank all ok for me, but Lesson 1 I repeat 3 times. Actually u dont need to worry about going too fast when playing with clutch, at most only loose balance and fall.

Yep, lesson 1. I think it is very important to get the fundamentals correct so I don't mind being stuck in Lesson 1. After all, I am a bit of a spider and not that young anymore lol. What's more, not being able to go for frequent lessons means progress is limited. The next time I go back.. forget alot of stuff.

[tionghan]

basket .. failed my lesson 4 test.. cos proceed before the indication light.. and follow the rider ahead of me also go and signal left after narrow plank

All the best! Remember the test route and stay calm

 

Is it okay for me to post up the 2 x test routes here, and get help from the bros around...

1) Circuit - Ways to do the circuit etc

2) Road - Places to check blind spot etc

 

If we were to have that, it will be ideal and helpful!

Circuit - must always remember those check blind spots & check back things. Also the signal to move off. Check back only after seeing the hand/light signal, not before the signals.

 

road - anytime approaching junctions, change lane & during turning must check blind spot. check back everytime before moving off.

Also just to share-at lesson 6, I kena caught did not stop at stop line right after turning left from school. Luckily just a warning.

[jepang]

Gear 1 no need to throttle too long. also,

I remember got 1 instructor said e brake use more on front brake to avoid skidding.

[Biri.Kecil]

My bike has got to stop by the 2nd yellow line or red line? Ah...damn, I've forgotten the circuit all.

[jepang]

anybody here can share experience/tips during tp test day. Like what are the process that will take place.
