they wanna make sure u can pass ur u-turn lah.

instructors know tat learners alwayz kan cheong and wobble in u-turn.

 

true, it may be a waste of money in a sense, but if u cannot take out this kind of money then wanna upkeep bike also very hard.

 

after starting to ride, i never thought of riding is a form of saving money..

I also felt that one time RR is too little liao. Cos they will want to make sure u r very gd on the rd so that when u pass u r able to handle the outside world better.

anyway, can anyone tell me if i should have a RC before 5.02? cuz after passing 5.01 today my instructor said it was advisable to take RC before evaluation...but me n my friend decided we should just go ahead with 5.02 cuz:

 

1. both RC n 5.02 cost the same ($23.10)

2. take SP although cheaper ($12.60), probably wont have much (if any) attn from the instructors, no timing taken etc, abit no pt...

3. if take 5.02 and do well, pass! if take RC and do well, do how well also wont pass! so like that might as well take a gamble with 5.02...

 

is that the way we should be thinking?

hey.. when u taking 5.02? lol im taking tmr session 4... i went for a sp 2 days ago... not really dat useful.. coz the stations all hav ppl de.. must wait quite long.. i told other ppl taking sp i goin for once b4 evaluation.. they say no need de.. coz for 5.02.. they will let u go a few rounds b4 the evaluation.. so ya.. sp quite a waste of money.. lol. sian man. i haven take my theory. on monday!! argh~ wasted 1 week+ waiting for my rtt~~ should hav taken it at the start

for $20 and 100 mins, the cost is so cheap nia.. go there just to play with the bike.

but of cos, if u r already very good in the circuit, good for u lor.

sp can train in certain courses in each session, just up to how observant are u to spot the un-used ones...

if only got dedicated u-turn training area tat u can safely practise in the circuit. The curbs drawn on the ground dun count.

BBDC circuit so small But then it is the biggest in south east asia le. If they can let people pratice in the mini circuit also not bad.

anyway, u know then good lah. i hope the instructor made a pt to tell u to step on the rear brake ALL the time in the fig 8. It's only eventually when i'm confident liao then i release the rear brake on the straight to go faster. Logic being tat, the instructors wanna reduce accidents. When u close throttle, the effect is often more than u can anticipate. u'll probably be thrown out of the bike or simply lose balance suddenly. Maintain throttle and adjust with the rear brake accordingly.

Hope this helps.

The instructor... looked damm fierce. He didn't say anything abt the rear brake. The only thing I could recall coming out from him was that "Where you look is where you are going." Shall see how I will fare tmw.

my instructor told me tat he must see us stepping rear brake and truely, it's a lot easier to control.

 

2nd thing, memorise where and how u r gonna turn. The most difficult portion for me is making the first left turn into the fig 8, becos from such a wide road, i had to turn into such a narrow one (for better timing, find the angle tat u like to turn best). After the 1st turn liao, the rest are easier. After the 1st left turn, look right side straight away and turn liaoz. Now tat u r in the "8" look to the left quickly and follow the left bend. once u straighten liao, accelerate. Just before the right bend, slow down and quickly look right side again. Slow down in this right bend and check right for traffic. If none, just quickly turn ur head left and turn left after tat.

 

u must always look b4 u actually turn, tat is really impt. will help u improve ur reaction.

[j1605198987]

nono... i is get 16 pt.. not 12. is more den 12 point den fail...lol. u do mistake.. they give u points.. not the more the better ah. haha. the lesser the better. the blind spot thing.. i see the evaluation form.. onli got 1 box leh.. so i tink onli can tick once? lol. means if u nv check 1 time same as nv check alot of time? oso the same no. of points. i think.

Hmm. actually not very hard to give the 12 points but then sometime they would give chance one. If not everybody will struck there liao. U pass already? i tot u went for it liao?
