What's his opinion of the Duke 200? Is the maintenance alright? 

 

How has recovery coming along?

His duke is a 2nd hand bike so there are certain wear n tear.. minor fixes and its a good running horse.. he loves the exhaust cos its loud and nice sounding.. haha 

Same same no diff.. somehow theres a sudden abcess build up on the knee n i took a needle to poke it.. drained them on Sat n it became a scab.. then Mon it burst n pus came out again.. then underneath got a hole sia... I juz discovered another area with pus building again.. think i shld monitor awhile more b4 calling hospital.. so far i dun have any fever so hopefully no infection..

the other concept the instructors don't mention is countersteering, but that's a topic for another day. 

I would say leave the countersteering technique out of the course first.

Because

1. You're suppose to grip the tank with your thighs for most of this courses...

2. Countersteer kinda requires you to sit offset to balance the steering. If you don't grip the tank you lose balance easily at the start. 

3. You will look very "outstanding" when you do all the courses because no one's position will be like yours. 

4. Its kinda weird to check for all the blind spots as they require you to because you'll stand out like an ostrich... 360 view... 

Just focus on getting the basics at the school and get to know all these more advance life saving techniques as you progress in your riding.

Since I'm the "cannot let go" kind of person and has to test my various theories and heed the instructions' feedback/advice, I saw a slot open up for tmr afternoon and booked it!

let's see what happens. 

school holidays... better have some fun now. 

Fig 8, i remember there was a rhythm i kept in my mine when i was doing it. you'll need to listen to the engine and get it to the correct rev to sustain the turn and feel confident. 

A few myth. 

1. You will skid if you go too fast... going at 20-40kmh around the circle is too slow to skid unless there's oil on the road... even with water there's enough traction between the rough tarmac and tire. 

2. I cannot brake while on the turn. YOU CAN. Rear brakes only. if you feel you're too fast. HOLD THE THROTTLE, Do not release the THROTTLE. Maintain the THROTTLE and Step on the Rear Brake until you feel that the speed is ok. Don't step so hard that you drift the rear tire of course... haha gently depress and feel the bike slow down then release to speed up. 

3. The more i lean, the faster i fall. Well if your speed is 0. Yes. At 20kmh and higher the bike will want to stand upright by itself. So use your EYE POINT to naturally lean the bike into the curve. look at the middle of the circle and usually thats a good place to look. 

fig 8 is extremely fun once you get the hang of it. And don't worry about using the brake pads... its not that expensive and its meant to be done that way. I'm serious.

Yesterday was all the time I could get from cdc. next lesson in 10 days. 

Got pulled out of the group class by a senior/chief instructor yesterday and brought back to the nursery to troubleshoot issues. Totally grateful for it. I think he could smell my fear of the bike all the way from the shed. 

firstly, I need to relax my whole body tensed up when I contemplate the courses and my shoulders go up to my ears  

so I throttle too fast after changing to second gear I didn't know it won't stall if I don't throttle immediately after  changing gear. and now I know....

And we practice my counter balance hahahah it seems I do need to turn my handlebar to turn the bike 🫣 he told me to borrow my son's bicycle to practice. I haven't been on a bicycle since I was 18! 

so school holiday homework... bring bicycle down to cycle in small space while children play at playground.

At lower speed you'll need to turn the handle bar to steer the bike. In order to do that you need to loosen those elbows~ so you need to relax and let those elbow bend... 

Now... here's the hard part... When you turn right at low speed. You need to half clutch and throttle while turning right? Aak!! finger too short the clutch want to slip and before you know it the clutch went further and gave the motocycle more power and bike starts jerking and you're in trouble. 

So to make yourself more confident. When you get the bike press the clutch and its like the brake adjustment on the bicycle... turn the knob to tighten or loose the cable to customise the clutch lever to your comfort. Make it not as tight so we can handle it better. You can ask the instructor for help if you need help adjusting the clutch. say you need it "lower" or "Nearer" cause you can't reach it well. 

All the best~

If you drive and ride... that combination will give best insight to both behavior.

What I've discovered so far the difference between riding and driving..

Cars, the RPMs can be kept low, these are no VTEC Honda Civics of the 1990s, now most cars have good low end torque.

Bikes on the other hand, need revs! Without revs, the bike will, lose balance (in tight spaces) and usually not be smooth.

That's what I really discovered in 3.01. On a wider open space, yea, can just clutch it... one wont' really feel much difference.. so, "free wheeling" is usually a "no no" ..

That's just a personal perspective of what I found the difference.

In my ride, my RPM is only 2.5k max... mindset is not transferable

yeah usually on smaller bikes you need more rpm to keep the power up a little more. Use the clutch to control the power. 

Bike RPM sometimes goes to 11k... I think my revo vtec opens at 7k last time... shiok. But the petrol burn until also very shiok hahahaha. Problem with the revo is the thighs area is extremely hot. Like you can get a first degree burn if you aren't wearing jeans or something to protect your skin... yes its that hot

do take care when dealing with a pus-filled abscess. It's a sign of infection. If it's sufficiently large, the hospital will need to cut it open under GA, clean the insides and prescribe a course of oral and topical antibiotics. Don't ask me how i know....

Clutch can adjust?!?

previous session it was really tight! So you can imagine the queuing and clutching in all the way... arm and finger pain! The instructor used my bike to demo. Then when he was instructing but clutch in a gear 1, he also use right hand to hold for a while

then last session the clutch was nice and loose but the biting point was almost when I finish releasing all the way.

but cos I got so much practice going round and round, by the end of the session it didn't make a difference, got used to it already. 

now I know can adjust clutch. 

It was raining yesterday so no chance to practice bicycle. But I realise, maybe I'm trying to turn bike like turn car

i wear a balaclava. Can get from the big motorbike apparel shops. good for absorbing sweat n keeping my helmet cleaner. Or u can order from the usual online shops. 

Decathlon  has the round tube multipurpose type which can be used as headscarf or neck gaiter. Good too.

Suggest u look at a few models (admittedly not that many choices for 2B) and sit on them to get a feel of the seating posture and feet positions on ground and on foot pegs. But first u gotta decide if u want street/naked bike or something else

i didn't buy this. Just rented for a while to try out. Planning to rent different bikes in SG to try them out. Before this, i had a CB150R for a few days, which is the same bike i trained on in Thai, so it was very familiar. If i do buy a bike it will be a touring type in Msia. Different choices there. 

i would prefer a water-cooled bike than air-cooled. Also prefer a twin cylinder but have not come across a 2B bike with that. The duke is air-cooled and single cylinder LOL. I've heard bad reviews on the duke's larger engine models from my friends, but they have not had actual experience with the 200. 

in my opinion, for pure transport purposes, a scooter with huge underseat storage will be most practical. Something like the Aerox or Nmax. but the fun factor is different and i wanted to get more experience with a clutch bike. I had an Aerox for 1 mth in north thai. Very useful and fun in it's own way. The honda adv150 looks interesting too but i've not tried it.

if i had to buy a new 2B bike here.... i think it would be the CB150X.

It's more tiring (on a bike) but in a way, there is a joy of being more responsible in one's action, also more engagement when riding. However, you are so right on the lane split... that is why always check for them if I need to change lanes at near standstill traffic.

By the way, MT-03 is a nice bike... was just searching up the specs...

Indeed.. mt03 is more of a inbetween 2B n class 2A bike.. enough power to steer away.. maintenance reasonable priced.. not like super 4.. 2A but class 2 maintenance rates.. of cuz.. give u better exhaust sounds..

clutch can be adjusted if you owned the bike.. training school doesn’t allow u to adjust especially cdc.. 

there’s a trainee kanna scolding before.. if u put too far.. cable might snap due to wear n tear.. 

too near.. engine stall…

I'm definitely towards a street / naked bike, purely for the fact that I like those aesthetics of the bike type and handling should be practical enough for roads.
I had the impression that the Duke 200 was liquid cooled but I like bikes that would offer a lot of torque - transferred preference from car...

Agreed on the bike being water cooled versus air-cooled, less strained on the engine... the only thing air cooled is my PC, which I don't overclock and the temps are lower than most AIOs anyway.
sidetrack a bit...

So, if I had to choose 2 as of now... MT-15 (more manga look with the transformer looking front) or the Duke 200.... I guess the MT-15 is rentable... but not sure where the Duke 200 could be rented from.

Priorities first; learn the basics... on how to ride before I go fantasizing about bikes... LOL...

Oh no... make sure that fever is not related to the injury... the pus area is probably the body fighting potential infection (I'm not a doctor, so it's highly speculative)..

The booster is a must for me as my "vaccinated status" was expiring and need to take it, not that I'm like keen to take it and not being able to work out for a good fortnight, but will probably go for walks or cycle... but nothing major... have to consult my family doctor.

Oh yea, Hondas are really good engine... but they are really pricey when I was comparing the CB150R... compared to say the MT-15... that is why they are not really used by the delivery guys... MSX (Grom) looks like an interesting bike but I don't think I'm skilled to ride as a bike at this juncture..

... learning 2B... the journey just continues...

Good that you ride a Yamaha, will check in with you for Yamaha related purchase if interested as you could probably tell if a bike "sounds" or looks weird in anyway... Yes, I agree that there must be a sweet spot of spending on a bike.. The MT class 2A series do look really good... that's just my limited opinion (limited as experience on bikes = zero)

That looks like a "cafe racer" style bike to me....  Keanu Reeves ride that sort of bike in the city... he owns a bike company... It even has old skool drum brakes for that nostalgia feeling..
