Motivation

I have already written and shared in this thread about one of the principle safety skills that I used to keep me safe in my everday riding in Singapore for the past 10 year--Hazard Oriented Vision. Please read the HOV article first if you want to attend.

As it is a mental skill, it may not be obvious how HOV is really implemented when you ride.

You may also wish to see, as an example, of how I ride.

 

Program

There will be 3 parts:

 

Part 1

The first part is for me to demonstrate how I use HOV.

This is done through commentary riding. That is, I will comment what I see when I ride. As I do not have radio sets, this can only be done by I will ride you as a pillion and you can hear my riding commentary as I ride.

Due to my small size, I think I have to limit myself to pillions of 90kg or less.

You will also be able to see how I position myself on the road, my riding speed, the type of spacing I like to keep on the road (see "cocoon of space" that I wrote in this thread) and how to find such spaces.

 

Part 2

The second part is voluntary.

If you opt for it, I will trail and observe you as you ride.

At the end of the ride, I will offer any areas that I observed that may lead to increase in your safety.

 

Part 3

Lunch (go dutch).

I will attempt to answer your safety questions over lunch.

 

As we will be riding around and I can only pillion one at a time, I have to limit the class size to 5 or less.

 

Due to the small class size, please list your names/nicks only if you are confirmed coming. Then PM me your name and handphone number.

 

Attending

2. DuDu

3. Ernie

4. SV650 (Won't Mount on Ah Seng's Bike. Wait he ban me from attending)

Oh that was long ago. The other time you see the stock exhaust was because of inspection.

 

btw Vandice has been Leovinced from HKL already. His turn to be overseas now, means no one to jaggar the bike...... pirates!

[jytheorem]

Vandice is riding a 650 rite?

Ani idea how much he paid for the end can?

How's the workmanship? Nid to cut up rite?

$650 I think, includes installation and inspection.

 

Yes, you'll need to 'potong' part of the header, that's the only way to do it. Everything you need comes with it, so no worries.

 

For the 400, I ain't too sure whether it's approved, my bet is that it shouldn't have any problem.

 

Check with HKL.

[Limsteel]

I am organising a DIY oiler session at Toa Payoh ctrl 1600hrs... anyone interested.

 

Someone used my DIY oiler thread for sale purpose. So I organised a DIY session for all to come...

 

You guys interested can come along... on the way I can show off my DIY slider as well

[SV650]

Bro, which date is it that you are having the session?

[Limsteel]

oops... forget to put the date... this coming Saturday @1600hrs Toa Payoh Ctrl

[jytheorem]

Ani pics of the leovince pipe?

Izit the steel one or the aluminium look?

He did it at HKL? Last time i checked out HKL is GPR one.

[Chemol]

Jy: Its the titanium one. Actually the end can imported by Sporting Motors.

 

To my knowledge, no street legal exhaust for SV400. I've checked quite a few places... No GPR, Remus, LV, Yoshi, Arrow, Lazer...

[Chemol]

I'm still overseas. Will post a pic nxt wk when back. Cheerios! And Den, you sign me up for advanced riding already rite?
