not outside circuit, the merry-go-round in the circuit after which you need to do the cornering. once you pass the cornering can go lesson 2 liao.

 

i just passed lesson 3 after 5 attempts last Sunday. later going for lesson 4 part 1 at 4.40pm.

 

for your info, my record is below :

 

lesson 1 - 3 times

lesson 2 - 6 times

lesson 3 - 5 times

 

so you don't worry, just do it and you will move on... hee hee, sound like very clever like that. actually still learning also...

 

cheers!

juz sharing my thoughts.........

 

i think cornering depends on skills and guts

 

if u got the guts, u can go lower than someone who is afraid to fall.... with the same speed

paiseh, did i make you nervous? better don't say too much liao, the more you think the more you kancheong. don't worry about cornering, just monkey see monkey do. the power rangers will demo how to do cornering, just follow them.

 

i started my first lesson 1 on 12apr. i also not very sure how long does people take to complete the whole course, i guess it also depends on how many RC & RR you do coz these revisions are all up to individual lor.

 

cheers!

not neccessarily.....

 

depend on your speed...

 

if speed too slow, go too low sure buang one....

 

hard to explain...muz grasp the feeling on your own...

 

dun be bothered too much by cornering.... juz ride to your own comfort...that is most impt

Everyone jiayou and dun worry too much about how many lessons you are taking...although it's a matter of cost. If you are ready and the instructor can see that...he will pass u! Must show him you are confident enuff to go to the next lesson!

Hmmm jhawk .... *pat jhawk's back*

 

I also want to for you.

 

I know how you feel. My first TP got 42 points! Same as my first Lesson 5 assessment. I felt so pek chek....so more it's those funny funny things like blind spots and wobbles....tick until so many boxes...

 

Your points so low you if you didn't get immediate failures sure will pass one! How come you got at slope and emergency brake lehz?

E-brake went over line ah? Slope roll back over line also?

 

Think just need to practise more circuit....points quite low so your skill muz be quite zhai...unlike me..hehe...

 

Just wanted to ask jhawk - how come you can book TP so early lehz?? On Tuesday, I was worried cannot pass, went to check earliest TP date...it was 11 Aug. Someone cancelled their test date?

jhawk =)

 

Just to share with you my TP experiences....hope to make you feel better

My 1st TP din manage to book enuff RR, juz went for 1. So I booked many RC....until I tink I kena very little points in the circuit, kena points outside on the road on my 1st TP.

 

2nd round for TP damn kiasu - book 3 RRs, 3RCs....den on 2nd thought went for 2 more RCs coz I realised even though I improved so much on the road den circuit skills all go down sia....dunno why. I also very worried on TP day coz dunno why my last RC circuit courses also all buay zhai. E-brake kept skidding.

 

On TP day my e-brake damn funny, come to think of it. During warm-up, first time skid over the line...2nd time skid but stopped b4 line...final time din skid at all but wondering if speed enough.

 

During test, I kick up to 3rd gear speed...cross the line...braaakkkeeee......KN, during the last 3 seconds of stopping, the bike start to skid....somemore bike not my warm-up bike dunno why timing very high.....braking effect is not as good. It's at the last few metres b4 I stopped...and if I din squeeze so hard will be over line liaoz...so I bochap....skid a bit....den the bike start to sway, fish tail a bit, den I juz placed my foot down firmly when stopping and straighten the bike. I know the tester looking at me. KN, bochap him (don't even want to look him in the eye coz I was scared he see that I know the bike was skidding to a stop). I just carry on like nothing happened - signal, tap gear, check back very deliberately and went off, cancel signal. Later on, I check my sheet, he juz gave me 2 points for incorrect technique, but nothing else.

 

I din do so well in the circuit coz was a bit nervous, wobble at fig 8, crank course, den my pylon, one of my RC instructors there looking....asked him on my last RC to check my courses....he told me I nearly knocked down one of the cones when I did it during the test and he was quite scared for me. I actually did knock down one in my last RC in his presence. In my mind already mentally ticking all the imaginary boxes on the TP sheet.

 

So after circuit, very demoralized....was worried all these already amounting to more den 18 points...den dunno why on my way out to the road on the slope I positioned bike in middle of lane on the slope. I was first bike so supposed to be more to the right. Later after right turn out from circuit was wondering Did I change left signal to right signal? OH NO!!)(#$*#($*#

 

Very sadzz den....but I was recalling what Vince Loh told me on last RR...he said my road biking not bad already...standard there...so I thought...mebbe still got chance...make sure road all zero points....den perhaps even wif circuit points, still got hope. And really, on the road, did quite zhai, didn't face the same problem right-turning at the hospital also...come back the slope, position correctly, signal correctly....think no mistake at all. I got 16 points, dunno why they din mark me for errors on the slope coming out. But perhaps they didn't see it as a terrible error. Just 2 ticks away from failing.......damn close. That's why I say if jhawk, you can avoid the immediate failures...wow u only had 6 lor. Try again and don't give up k. You can do it one! :cheer:

Hope it won't rain later too Claudia den your lesson will be as smooth as possible! But sometimes good to experience rain on the bike.....it's real life experience coz as a rider will have to experience wind, rain, sun...all the bad weather elements!

 

Although it's damn sianz when it happens.. I was lucky (or unlucky) enough to experience my first rainy lesson on Lesson 4 part 1.....very heavy. Had to wear raincoat all dat..like I said, it's a good experience lor. Also got rained on in other lessons as well. If you happen to get it, juz take it in a positive light and that u are training yourself as a rider in wet-weather skills! =)

that cg125 suddenly became damn heavy with pillion man. the low-seat bike sank even lower. my pillion rider is a small size boy, can't imagine pillioning someone bigger. scared scared.

that is quite fast for a retest!!

 

6 pts..... that means u are quite gd....

 

maybe u need to train up your control of your trottle, clutch, brakes and eye pts so as not to repeat the same mistakes for your immediate failure....

 

juz my thoughts.....

 

GO GO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
