BBDC - Anyone Taking 2B There?

[Vashie]

In the book for pylon they mention about closing and opening throttle for turning, but the instructor always says that throttle must maintain and speed is regulated by rear brake. Thats the difference.

Going through the pylon uses the same technique as on plank...maintain throttle and use rear brake.

[cypher]

If feel like going to drop, just open throttle and regain speed. Get points for clearing fast better than drop and IF.

How many points would that be ?

 

I heard from my friends that its not easy to pass on first try..

[ownagery]

Anyone here got tips for U turn? i just cant seem to get the bike angle correct, keep wide turning.

 

Just failed 7.01.

There's a checklist at the back of the book, different timing got different penalty. Not easy to pass 3.01? I took 2 times to pass...really have trouble with pylon at first.

I remember the 2nd time I went, the instructor keep ask me open more throttle. I open, strike the kerb at the right side and flew onto the outer circuit facing downwards...my right feet got stucked in between the kerb and the bike. I couldn't do anything because I'm facing downwards...took some time for instructor to notice I fell and came to help. Took some rest at the grass patch before I go back to pract. The right side mirror got twisted 45 degrees to the front and I had to change a new bike. My leg swelled up after that day and couldn't walk properly for a week...but the good thing is I managed to pass that pract.

Recently I went for SP I saw the same situation happened to someone. The instructor help him up, flagged down a learner car and let it transport the guy back to the bike waiting room. They also gave the guy some ice to apply on. I didn't get any of those treatments when I had my accident.

I have the same problem too. can never seem to get my bike positioned nicely. So I just position it my way and look far when turning out so won't go into the outer lane.

 

I hear the instructor say something like half clutch when move off, close throttle clutch in when turning to position behind the line...but I don't quite get how to do that.

hey dude, i got this problem also last time.

so the instructor told me, when you u-turning, don't look down, look at the traffic light infront. confirm can.

Seems like all the courses is not easy ):

just try and will get through. don't worry.

When you completed learning everything, you will realise that the courses is the least you need to worry about if your bike don't have any problems.

More points would be deducted for your normal riding. (signal, blind spot, lane change...all those.)

How many points would that be ?

 

I heard from my friends that its not easy to pass on first try..

 

Erm, dun think so much how many points la.

 

No one but yourself (and um, the BBDC computer) will know how many times you took the lesson. Even if instructor ask who first time who not first time, you can always say 2nd time only mah. Doesn't matter. 2nd module you sian already, 5.02 will be even worse.

 

So why worry whether you will pass it the first try or not? On the contrary, if you try too hard you will end up doing even worse, just relax and tell yourself you can do it.

 

My 2A I took so many RC (itchy to ride la) until I paiseh to show the book to instructor, always say nv bring

Drop the bike more times than during 2B, throw face! But drop inside circuit better than drop outside.

 

 

The important one to pass one time is the TP, not the lessons.

if plank less than 6 sec but more than 5 sec=4 points.

 

if less than 5 sec but more than 4 sec=6 points.

 

if less than 3 sec IF.

5.02 seems the hardest. I don't have good feeling for myself going for 5.02..

 

I think i will fail like crazy..

Just do it!

 

If so many other people have done it, so can you.

[Vashie]

5.02 is still some distance away from you...don't need to plan so far now! :gun:

Focus your mind on the task at hand...I didn't even think much about 5.02 till I passed 5.01.

Hmmm I think it's pretty easy , one of the pracs that I passed on the first attempt . Don't worry so much about the timing first , during the first few tries , try to get the technique right . If you're good enough the instructor will let you pass and bring you to 3.2 ( Wet surface E brake ) !

Hopefully, I'm going with 1 of my friend on saturday.. It's his 3rd try already...

[LINNN]

Hmmm okay all the best !

Just failed 7.01.

 

book an sp and just keep practicing ur u-turn ba..immediate failure due to right leg down quite sian..

 

u-turn must throttle more and maintain throughout, control speed using ur half-clutch and rear brake (machiam plank technique).

ensure the bike has sufficient power at all times-it will greatly reduce wobble and increase ease of handling.

once u achieve a comfortable level of control, ull be able to bring the bike down and bank confidently (fig 8 technique)

 

most of all, dun rush urself and keep calm..

as jB said, a u-turn is merely 2 right turns good luck!

as denial stated, eye point very impt..look far and will be much easier

@sky99 it might not seem easy at first but it will come to u with more practice..good luck!

[choke]

I took mine at CDC...

[Fried Rice]

good morning!

[Sky99]

So what i should do is maintain throttle and release clutch abit by abit?

[LINNN]

Don't release your clutch , use your rear brake to control .

 

Go up the plank slowly and maintain the speed ( if you think you're going too fast , use rear brake to control ) once you're on it and always look straight , if you look down very hard to balance .

[Vashie]

For me I always go up fast then slow down using rear brake while fully on plank. Heard that if go up too slow will fall when the front wheel touch the plank.

 

Just went RC today...feel like it's a waste of $$! Keep do the courses...in the end the instructor only say my brake scary. Never even help us count the timing for the courses.

[Sky99]

what about the pylon?

 

i'm not very good in turning
