Hi Bros!!

Rainy Season so do be carefull on e road ya. Just now at Bedok South the road was very wet... My bike skidded , had a good Spin and humpty dumpty had a great fall

 

My shoes, my all time favourite black shirt, my pants all gone man. Sad part, my handguards scratch already

If not for the crashbars, the fairings would have been gone already. That's why crashbars are important, so pastikan yg Original

 

Lucky no car behind. If not I "Go Up" the same day I was born...

 

Pro Bero & Shahrul

Hi...all Vara bros,Peace....

 

 

Brothers >> It's learn to share and share to learn time. once again some excerpts.the views and opinons are from the experts.therefore,your discretion will be much appreciated.

 

Co-Rider / Pillion/ Passenger

The safety of the passenger is often forgotten or taken for granted. We somehow assume that we, as riders, have everything under control. Even if we don't, what they don't know won't hurt them. We need to change this way of thinking and involve our pillions more in our riding to help us ride better and safer.This information is two fold; one is for the co-rider to have a better understanding of what is happening during the ride. The other is to instill awareness. Here are some useful guides for all.

 

Clothing:

The co-rider or pillion should wear similar type of clothing that the rider does. After all, the co-rider is exposed to the same if not more weather than the Rider and should you have a "go-down" they are going to hit the same ground we will.

a.Helmets should be at least a DOT (or PSB equivalent) approved, but Snell is rated best. Full face will protect more than a 3/4 open face or half style, but definitely any is better than none.

b.A shield is very important, even if it is hot when closed.

c.Leather is best, but even just long sleeve shirts offer some protection. If you buy leather, make sure it is lined and not hemmed. Any covering is better than none. Don't expose any skin you are not prepared to lose. Aside from the obvious warmth it will give you in winter, leather will keep you cooler in summer. Don't forget that there is sun and wind burn that you need protection from. Pants can be denim; buy them a couple inches longer than normal as they ride up when on the bike.

d.Leather gloves with full fingers will give you good protection. Deerskin is preferred over cow skin for abrasion resistance, long wearing and softness, especially after being wet.

e.Boots or any other over the ankle sneaker will help protect the foot, ankle and lower leg from abrasions.

 

.

 

Motorcycle Orientation:

The co-rider should read the Owner's Manual, and you'd be surprised how many riders never do. You might even learn that if he says he can't hear you, all that might be necessary is turn up the intercom dial. Have your rider show you all the different controls and explain how they work. Have the rider put the motorcycle on the center stand and go through the motions. Make sure he tells you not to trust the green light that says the motorcycle is in neutral. Especially learn how to use the Engine Cut-Off Switch. It uses engine braking and does not lock the wheels. Understand what the various gauges are for, as well as the levers - which one is the brake, which one is the clutch. Know how to use the CB.Have the rider show you how to change the air pressure, so that you can put your feet on the ground if you have to be the rider. Make sure you know how to release a throttle lock.

 

Getting on the motorcycle:

Make sure that you are not near the motorcycle while the rider is mounting it. If they drop it, you will be blamed, if it falls over. In most instances, the rider should hold the front brake when either of you are mounting or dismounting. You should never do either without first informing the rider first. Remember that in most cases the rider is holding the motorcycle up with their legs, so be gentle. You should also stay plugged into the intercom until you are off the motorcycle so that you still communicate with the rider. The parking brake is leaving the bike in gear or with the reverse engaged.

 

During the ride:

Keep your legs "in" at all times. If you want to stretch or shake your leg, tell the rider first. For comfort sake, the thigh should be level with the ground. Observe the road ahead and look over the rider's shoulder in the direction of the turn. You don't have to lean, just look. You will actually be sitting straight up, which is what you're supposed to do. You should never lean opposite the lean of the rider. The rider and co-rider should communicate with each other at all times. The co-rider should practice keeping their head and eyes level with the horizon. When you look down, you tend to pull your body weight with it and force the motorcycle in that direction. Remember, the motorcycle will go where you look! In addition, it will maintain your balance and may also prevent dizziness.

 

Something just happened to the rider, What do I do now?

If the rider does not feel well before the ride, don't go. It is your responsibility to keep an ailing rider home. If the rider feels ill during the ride, stop as soon as possible. If the rider slumps over while riding, get control of the motorcycle. You must reach the handle bars. You should practice this while the motorcycle is on the center stand. Push the rider forward if possible, stand up if necessary. Engage the Engine Cut-Off Switch. Try to remain calm. Talk to the rider, if possible, to get information and calm them, if they are conscious. When you have control of the motorcycle, steer away from the group. If possible steer the motorcycle to a soft place to fall over. You will be falling over! Let the motorcycle fall over at the slowest possible speed. Even though you will have a natural tendency to put your feet out, keep your legs in until after you fall over and stop. Don't worry if the bike sputters when it slows down. If you know how and can reach it, pull in the clutch. If there is a throttle lock or cruise control, disengage them. Squeezing just slightly on either the clutch or brake will disengage the electronic cruise controls. Once you are stopped, try to remove yourselves from the motorcycle. Give your rider CPR if necessary and have someone call an ambulance. Don't remove the rider's helmet, let the medics do that.

 

Can this happen to you?

You better bet it can! Riding behind a rider who is not knowledgeable, could be dangerous. The rider may think they know what to do in an emergency, but do they really? The co-rider’s life can sometimes be in the rider's knowledge.

If the co-rider is a little person, do not tie them to the rear seat. Don't give someone a ride if you have any doubts about them staying in the rear seat.

 

To end , be assured that the co-rider is a very important and unique part of the riding team. They deserve our respect.

 

RIDE SAFELY
