If u are turning,

use it to Check the blind spot on the side u intend to turn.

If u are Filtering into the Highways...

Turn your head to check what your mirror can't see. (Blind Spot)

 

WHEN U use a Life Saver,

Do it early enough to allow your to adopt an Alternative plan

There is no use in loooking over your shoulder

as you start to Manoeuver your Machine into someones path.

LIFESAVER... Means To Turn Your Head &

Have a Glance at Your Blind Spot

Truck in my Face when I turn Back...

Yep! Had That B4...

 

The car infront of line of us filtering into highway decides to STOP!

[endlessloop]

Thanks Ravon11

 

 

A trip to Kota Tinggi is really a very short and convenient trip.

It takes only 1 hour from Esso GP travelling at an average speed of 110kmh@NS and 90kmh@trunk road.

And it is the nearest destination to a town by trunk road.

 

Because it is such a short trip, it should be suitable to all bikes from class2B to 2.

 

I love to ride into the country-side (non-KL) of Malaysia. It is so relaxing and peaceful. You get to see things you don't see in Sg.

Hey fellas,

 

Sounds cool this ride... I think guys like me with cubbies would enjoy this trip! I forwarded a link to the cubs subforum. There were a few who were interested in a short ride up to Desaru!

 

[Spectrum]

Hi Inrsoul....

 

That's Fine... Should be an enjoyable ride for all...

Not too long... And Rd not too busy.

And enough Curve & Bends to keep everyone occupied.

[Spectrum]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v484/2100spectrum/Staggered01M_resize.jpg

 

Staggered Formation

 

The Leader rides to the right hand side of the lane while the 2nd Rider stays a little behind on the left side of lane.

 

The 3rd rider takes the right hand position, a normal 2 sec distance behind 1st rider.

 

The 4th rider would be a normal 2 sec distance behind the 2nd rider.

 

This formation can be safely used on an open rd.

However Single file should be used on curves & when turning corners.

 

It is important to Keep the Formation tight as to prevent other vehicles

From Entering (This intrusion may cause collisions)

 

When Faster vehicles are coming from Behind.

 

In a 2 Lane Highway. When on Right lane... (eg at over taking spd)

Last bike should start moving to Left lane & turn on left signal...

to let front bikes do the same...

The faster vehicle can then safely over take on the Right Lane.

[Spectrum]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v484/2100spectrum/Overtaking02M_resize.jpg

 

Overtaking

 

When it is Safe,

The Lead Bike should pull out & Pass

Keep going & leave a Gap for the Next bike behind.

 

As soon as the 2nd bike has pass....

Continue in staggered Formation

And keep a gap for the Bike behind.
