SSDC - Anyone Taking 2B There?

[babe_09]

I got an IF (nearly accident) when I turned left after the slope, which I have never encoutered before. After the assessment, I asked one instructor but he was also not very sure. He said that maybe I didn't turn smoothly. Until now I am still not very clear why that point costs me an IF

 

hi dannysg.. did u stop at the junction? coz it's an Immediate Failure if you do so.

 

At least this mistake happened during ur assessment round. I failed my TP coz i stopped at junction when i was coming back to the sch after completing my road. And it wasnt really my fault, coz another car cut my path and i had no choice but to e-brake and stopped at junction. So sometimes luck do play a part i guess.

[SparkerS1]

Dunno how many times I have to repeat!!! Almost give up!!!

if u see how many lessons i took and how much i spent, u will not think this way, cos seldom got ppl more suay than me:(

i know the technics on how to corner at the speed of 160km/h, but to execute this, this takes practice for me.

 

If u really want to improve and learn to be a better rider, pls look for me.

can teach me this move on my bike? cos my top end is even lesser than tat:cheeky:

Went for my first lesson today. Was surprised that I was actually ok on the bike and the instructor took me aside and taught me how to change to 2nd gear on the mini-circuit; ahead of the others!

 

However, still must come back for another round of Lesson 1. Is it true Lesson 1 always have 2 sessions?

I did stop at the junction, as usual, and watched out oncoming traffic. But I think the traffic there was quite heavy at that moment so I maybe didn't have a chance to turn smoothly

Ya I know that some bros here took a lot of lessons and I really appreciate their spirit

Usually lesson 1 are 2 sessions. When the instructor see you are gd enuff inside the small circuit, he will let you try the big one outside.

Really ah? Which prac did u stop?

[shunoski]

Don't give up. I stop learning 7 years ago after I got my class 3 and regretted it when I was slogging out through the practs early this year. You may not have the freedom of time as now, to go for lessons. I have to exchange schedules just to attend TP and practs. Just finish it, technically, it's just 8 lessons. If you have no motivation, go walk ard kaki bukit or where all the bike shops are..

I was like you; renew once. Stopped at lesson 2 and didn't go for 8 months plus. Kept failing the lessons and no motivation but after a close friend of mine persuaded me to continue my lessons since he just enrolled for 2B at SSDC, I waited for him and took together with him. The first time I came back from the 8 months hiatus, I passed my lesson 2 and proceeded to lesson 3, haha.

[sharonLOOO]

ummm, i stop at RC (can go for prac 5 but dont wanna go coz i fear how badly my assessment will be -.-)

[Fritz]

Go for a few CRs then proceed to lesson 5 then.

[sharonLOOO]

lols, will it work?

[Fritz]

You don't try, you won't know?

Stopping = No result

Trying = Probable result

[cynic]

Just go for it, Impossible is Nothing!

[sharonLOOO]

wahahaha! suddenly i feel so motivated. people around me's been "seeing me no up" -.-

my instructor took me aside because i didnt know how to shift from gear 1 to gear 2

have faith in yourself, learn slowly, get the technique right, slowly u will progress

[rylche]

Can't wait for my next lesson! Learning is a fun process; I can concentrate on learning and enjoying riding without the dangers of the roads outside. I find this really refreshing and I treat every lesson at SSDC like a small "holiday" from my busy NS life.

My best guess is that, when u were turning left from the stop line, as the bike was moving off, ur left foot may have touch the ground again due to wobbling.

Its considered as 'Footed' and its a IF.

everybody proceeds at a different pace, has a different set of natural abilities, and others that need to be learnt. some will pass in 1 lesson, others more. best thing is to focus on what you are doing and keep improving rather than worrying about being fast/slow. at the end of the day, you will make it if you keep improving.

[shunoski]

yeah, sooner or later, you will pass TP. You may hit a stagnant period where everything you do seems right, but you were asked to keep repeating lessons. However, just keep going and going and going! lol...machiam lessons no need money

[rylche]

Haha yeah. Someday, someday!! My 2B will come

Hi Mr. Corse,

Thanks for your explanation and advice. Of course, I didn't blame the instructors cos I know they only want us to become good and safe riders. Btw, you are my instructor for lesson 3 and helped me with the proper E-brake technique. You are one of my favorite instructors

 

I was just a bit disappointed since I have prepared very carefully and put my best effort and confidence to this assessment. I took note every single mistake I made after each assessment, clarified with instructors and learned them by heart. I went to CR the day before but I didn't have a chance to practice the crank course (which is my weakest point) due to construction . More than that, before going to bed at night, I tried to visualize the test route and what I have to do in every single step. I was confident I have prepared well enough and should have passed. But it didn't turn out as I expected ...

I wish we are allowed to take the assessment route twice and choose the best result. Because I think even if we can ride smoothly during CR and warm up, it doesn't mean we can perform the same result right after the instructor's hand signal during the assessment. There is a little of LUCK in that moment. But Mr. Corse, you are right, even a small mistake on public road, that could be the last mistake we have ever made.

 

And last but not least, thanks for everyone's encouragement. I will go for more CR and take the assessment until I pass!!!

 

so many trainee went through this process. if they can pass, so can you. its just a matter of time that you will get your license if you persistent enough.

preparation is 1 thing, your performance on the assessment got the final call.

even without proper preparation, you might get a pass result for your assessment.

 

more haste, less speed. do its at your own pace instead.
