Which lesson was the most difficult for you?

[ah fat]

sometimes its hard to understand how they pass or fail the student.

today i see one guy doing pract 7 for the 3rd time but he super cork up.

i did it first time but im so sure im much better than him at the routes and turnings.

but it end up with a "i think u need more familiarisation of the route" for me.

the guy passed with so many mistakes during the brief.

weird way cdc manage the students

I think theres a clue here: "Need more familarisation on the route"

 

Is this your first time? If so, I think that guy was "given a big break" from doing the same 3 practicals on Lesson 7...

 

Just guessing

Normally for Pracs, other than L5 and L8, they are quite lenient on the 2nd time onwards. Screw up or cork up, they also pass you. But when reach to the evaluation, keep screwing up, they earn more! L5 + Revision, L5 + Revision, L5 + Revision.

so how much u guys spent for the class 2b license including the tp cost in total?

[LuncheonMeat]

hmmm...about $1.3k...

[Xenophobia07]

If I pass this coming Thursday, Means I spend about $600+, less than $650. All including the license payment like PDL of $25 and QDL of $50 and stuff.

[ah fat]

im just done with 7 and going to 8.

spent ard 650 excluding pdl alr..

is it a lot?

somehow i see ppl usually spents less than 700 on the whole thing

Who cares about the money part... Important is can ride safely... That's why... Defensive Riding Course is a Must! (I'm comforting myself with excuses to take the course, or else can't ride to camp.)

i used 502.75 for my 2b lic... includes everything... but also no use... now on my BMW (Bus Mrt Walk) can only envy others with their bike... sobz sobz sia...

For me Lesson 1 - first time on bike

 

Lesson 2 - ok nothing much

 

Lesson 3 - Figure 8, 4 times total

 

Lesson 4 - the plank was ok but e-brake must have correct technique.

 

The rest was ok but the worst was waiting for TP result, haha!

[ermintham]

wahah at last get to see pple not gd at 2b also...i'd always feel like giving up... i spent ard 770 and im only at prac 7 second time...(770 includes the second time for prac 7 but ive yet to go for it) then add pdl and registration shld be 800+....i hope can pass TP at one shot and spend less than 1k....

 

i take at ssdc...

L1-7times ( moving off anf shifting to gear 4 + cornering)

L2-5times (slope, fig 8 and crank....fig 8 damn hard...)

L3-4 times ( e brake slalom and plank)

L4- 4 times ( pt 1 is pillion, pt 2 is prac 5 test route...kena immediate failure so i repeat part 2 2 times... pt 1 one time...sure pass one)

L5- 4 times( assessment....suay la....)

L6- 3 times( u turn and general riding)

L7- 1 time so far....hopefully 2...( test route.....wah lan...tt stupid guy in front..jam brake.....coz got yellow box....then i also jam...so my front touch his L plate....so kena lor....sianz..)

fig 8 is actually easy if you have the right technique.

 

first you have to be bold... don't be afraid to fall/hit kerb/etc... you're not going that fast anyway.

 

secondly, eyepoint is very very impt. your bike will steer where you look. your peripheral vision will keep you on the road, your eye point will steer you where you want to go... look at least 1 bike length ahead of you, do not let your eyes follow the tip of your bike wheel, and just be bold and go! don't be afraid to go slightly faster or lean slightly lower, your bike will be more stable too if you're slightly faster.

 

eyepoint is also v impt for the crank and the plank... just keep looking ahead and don't look down, don't let your eyes follow the kerb.

 

if you see pictures of the motorgp racers, you notice that their heads are usually at an angle when they're cornering...they're looking much further ahead cos where you look, your bike will follow =)

 

it's all practice practice practice!

 

all the best!

[ermintham]

thanks a lot...think i really nid practice...also dunno how i pass my assessment looking at the floor....think jus nid to have more guts....thanks..wil try it out in my next circuit revision..

Wah, anyway you are almost there. Don't give up.

 

I almost wanted to give up in lesson 3. Take 3 times already still cannot make it.

Then I did tell myself, the 4th time I take, I am going to whack in fig 8.

[KKaze]

All the best ermintham... Hope you pass ^_^

 

For me, I went thru my lesson 1 once, lesson 2 and 3 twice, and lesson 4 and 5 (evaluation) once... now I at lesson 6 which I went once and fail (lol badly? dunno why have an enormous fear on riding on road)...

 

For my friend, however he at lesson 1 5 times and he thought it's fun... in fact I can see he quite sian about the failing liao... I'll try encourage him to continue lah... but deep in my heart I want to ask him to give up (money wise, safety wise)... wa I dunno what to do leh
