How much in total u spent for ur class 2b?

[Wildswans]

HHahhahaha... Think I spent 1k....

 

Took quite a number of lesson for the initial stages, lesson 3 most cos i saw a number of bikes crash during e-brake and I freak and stopped being able to do e-brake.... Finally got one instructor pity me then let me pass on my 7th attempt... after that not more than 3 attempts...

 

Lesson 5, one time; lesson 6, 3 times; lesson 7 - 1 time; lesson8 2 times....

 

Spend quite a fair bit on revision also... but quite worth cos tp pass 1 time

[mfibre]

Me spent $480 total

Glad i make CDC earn as little as possible

I thot my prac 1 of 8 times was powerful enuff.

 

dun worry dude, we both fall into the not too 'gifted' zone. I spent so far around 1.3k already i tink, waiting for tp now.

yet to book around 5 cr, so maybe $50 more to spend. haiz.

there is one guy who is taking his 2b at bbdc took more then 9times in every lesson. i saw him when i was taking my 2.02 with him and talk to him. he showed me his booklet have so many chops by the instructor until he has to get a new booklet.

 

1.01 - 10 times

1.02 - 12 times

1.03 - 11 times

2.01 - 10 times

2.02 - 8 times

 

and that is my last time seeing him during my days in bbdc. hope he has gotten his ride already..

No choice, bitten by the bike bug late in life, some more dun know how to ride bicycle when starting, kena suan by instructor 4 3 lessons in Prac 1 b4 guai guai took 3 mths off to learn bicycle, then another 7 lessons b4 clearing 1.01. Worst, took 15 lessons until instructor close one eye and pass me for my plank. Cant even meet the timing.

I understand what fear you are facing now. I've experienced that before.

 

I believe it's the fear of leaning with the bike. It's because when you are turning corners (especially sharp ones...) you will have to lean more with the bike as opposed to leaning when riding on a bend.

 

Just focus on the eyeline (that means... look where you want to go) and you will naturally lean with the bike. Most importantly, when leaning, don't kan cheong and soon you will realize that you are able to turn at corners. And then.... you will get rid of your fear and have confidence!

Umm... braking... From my own experience, when in the circuit, cannot use too much of front brake... bike should jerk one... use more of foot brake

 

As for changing of gears... Make sure your bike have power then you change up the gear, otherwise bike will vibrate...

 

Oh speaking of which... the 'lao ya' bikes in the centre... be careful when you step down gear, do it slowly and make sure you hear the 'tuck' sound. If not, you might end up stopping in the wrong gear.

 

Actually hor... when i first started learning, I was a famous kan cheong spider too! Now, better because lots of self-practice...

 

I'm sure you can do it one! Jia you!

 

Just hope and that I'll get my license soon... Just failed my TP...

Wah Bro...... I really really really respect you......

 

If it was me.....I will have give up learning liao...... and my mom at that time will surely "suan" me like mad.......

 

Congrats bro on passing your 2B! You really earned it!

[Aman47]

are testers n schools getting more strict? cos all my frens n i spend less than $550 for our pracs, in yr 2006. n seldom hav to take pracs more than twice.. but my other fren hu is taking 2b now, keep taking each prac at least twice. 1.01 twice, 1.02 twice, 2.01 twice etc.. .. so r they more strict? possible..

[slutgarden]

spent about 900++(inc. tp) i took prac 6 thrice and prac 8 four times, the rest were good..

 

got bored most of the time and went to countless revisions about 15 for circuit and 5 for road.. it's soo addictive i tell you..

 

tp would be 26th .. 10 days more..

 

`wish me luck !.

[slutgarden]

oh yea, and of course prac 1 twice..

[slutgarden]

well i think it's better to take each practical lesson as a true learning point, instead of just hoping that you would pass after the lesson ended. i myself would anxiously wait for the results and by the time i passed, i quickly ran up to book the earliest next prac. i was rushing my way up through and in the end i realised that i did not have much confidence or rather skill to manouvere the bike well enough.

 

well obviously i got stucked on prac 6 and then on the important final prac 8. which clearly would state that either i was too confident or just lack of skill/judgement.

 

there was one point on prac 8 where everything was going smoothly and i thought i nailed it, i fell of the plank. kerplunk !. dang, cursed my way through slalom and wanted to just park the bike and go home.

 

so, dont be over confident, just be confident.

 

wish luck me again and again for 26th.

 

heh. pray if you would have to.

[FOXY]

so u now waiting for tp?

[Guest Valarie]

I spent abt $700++ if not for my stupid 3 times of TP I would have spent lesser

[drumgroovy]

Took prac1 the most coz i had alot of problem with clutch + throttle work. Took up to 4-5 lessons to finally stopped stalling in the middle of the road.

 

Class 2a I cleared everything + TP once. Shows how practice really helps

[ahqi]

Tp - 1

 

was army trained. erm.. i tink most impt is to practice more den gradually will get it ba.

[xiaobanz]

Haha, I took 2 times and about $980 before I passed my TP. Took Quite a while cos I enlisted in the army then not much time only my precious weekends. But I think it's really true that passing lessons now are much higher i think cos due to the high accident rate that bike riders are having.

 

But when I passed, I was flying man. My first license to be exact that's why.. Haha..
