OK, post 2 - Bike riding in Europe

 

Apart from the seasonal aspects mentioned before, one of the other main differences with Singapore is the scale of the distances. Where Singapore is merely 42 by 20 km, Europe represents a much larger area and although one could argue that from Singapore you could easily cross over to malaysia and ride long distances also, most km by singaporeans are covered within Singapore making rides only short and more city environment oriented. The distance I cover from my place to work is around 35km one way and it takes me 45mins to 1 hour by car, 30-45 mins by bike depending on traffic. Most of the roads are single carriage ways and overtaking is not allowed everywhere but on a bike it can still be done unless traffic is heavy. A little extra punch is very much needed. Max speed in those roads is 80 kph, motorways usually 120 kph. Most motorways are 2 lane although busy areas expanding to 3 lanes. Filtering is not common unless there is traffic jam and cars are really stopped or driving slowly. There are also cases of drivers becoming quite agitated with motorbikes filtering and they try and block the passage...

 

Back to the distances and speeds; because of the fact that we have larger distances to cover, usually at higher average speeds, smaller bikes (

 

Most folks actually ride a bike for fun, over the weekends and not as main transportation which is also why again, together with the seasonal aspect, most bikes dont do a lot of milage and get maintained well. Its a hobby object with lots of tinkering and polishing. Milage done is usually when touring.. longer distances... again better for the bike.

 

Ok enough again, will explain a little more about riding lessons/instructions next round

wa, Chris, upz for you la!

At first i saw ducati slipper... whoa ducati also make slippers for riding ah?? cool!! Then i saw the clutch..........

[Jenga]

hmmm, still in Singapore guys... enjoying the good life, meanwhile moved from Hotel 81 Chinatown, to Goodwood Park Hotel and now back to budget -> Value Hotel Balestier hahaha..

 

Anyways, thought I'd share this nice clip with you all about the practical exam for motorcycles in Belgium. This is only the exercises, not riding in traffic but to give you a flavour of what you need to do to pass overhere... btw, I like the bike, BMW, looks very light and manouverable...

 

 

Then got this other little clip which makes my exam look like a piece of cake - enjoy!

 

Btw, this is only the practical exercises. The majority of the exam is actually on the road in traffic, riding with the examinator driving in a car behind you and telling you through earclip where to go next. They will just let you ride around, give instructions, go left, right etc and you have to show you can really ride in traffic, check your blind spots, keep distance, overtake, notice speed limits etc. If you have traffic experience its not too difficult but for new riders, can be quite challenging. Not like the regular little circle around the riding school like in Singapore eh hahaha..

 

Ok, one more hahaha, very enjoyable... first semi circle for this guy:
