i did this last time and got 9+ seconds. useful technique even as of today when i'm riding thru a bend, when entering carpark or going thru the roundabout when the road is wet.

try not to use this method at all.. unless u got no choice but to brake.

 

the driving sch is the only place where u can be sure of the quality of the road surface.. for anywhere else.. try to refrain from using this method..

this is one of the golden rules outside of the driving sch..

hey -=[sun]=-! haha!

 

Roadrunner71... i saw the 2 instructorswho were shouting! i was there like super early becoz got no where to go. Then saw it. I think as bbdc instructors, if got not happy one, should fight it out on the circuit lor. haha!

When did u see me? How come I never see u? Congrats on ur 5.02 ya.

I did badly for my 6.01 today. Nearly knocked into a taxi which die die must come into my lane; never stop @ pedestrain crossing. 1 lady waiting to cross the road. Nearly knocked into one group member who stopped @ filter lane when I tot the traffic was clear. I was checking the traffic on my right n didn't see him. Had to brake hard to prevent banging into his bike.

This shows the auttide of the drivers and riders outside. if u see them coming into ya path, just give way to them if not u r not experience on the rd enough to try to siam them also. When following people into the filter lane, u check right and traffic is clear, dun assume that they will go. Go into the lane slowly, then chek left before going in then check traffic to the right, then check infront then check left then go.

who say won't drop.. will drop ar.. dun noe whether is I'm too slow or whatever.. The bike drop a few times liao.. Instructor say either I throttle too little or throttle too much.. :help:

 

How to hold on to throttle, I feel whenever I hold onto throttle, the bike like will only go straight..

i think u open the throttle too much liao. When going into the figure 8, open the throttle and use the rear brake to control the speed. For 2b bike, holding on to the throttle still can control the bike one. Must be daring to cup when holding on to the throttle.

EeYoRe,

 

dOnGhAi is absolutely rite. I just cleared my 4.01 yesterday. When my speed was too fast, I eased/closed throttle to reduce speed to avoid hitting/mounting kerb. As a result, the bike jerked, wobbled and became unstable. Because of that, the ride thru the S-Course was not smooth and the timing was definitely more than 10sec lor.

 

Then the instructor told me that maintaining the throttle was essential to get a smooth ride, just like maintaining throttle and half-clutch at 1st gear while negotiating plank. But since u're using 2nd gear for S-course, u'll have to apply some foot (rear) brake while maintaining throttle to control ur speed and get a smooth ride.

 

Just like u, I always looked at kerb/pylon to avoid hitting it. But the fact is that the more u look at it to avoid hitting it, the more u're going to hit it! So another method u can try is this - don't bother abt the 10sec timing at 1st because it adds to the pressure and u end up doing everything wrong. Try correcting ur tendency to look at the kerb 1st - slower speed but correct line of sight. When u've got that part right, then increase ur speed gradually to clear 10sec timing.

 

Hope that helps!

 

Anyway, my 4.02 lesson is on Wed at 6pm. Anyone taking that lesson too?

Hey i taking my 2.01 on wed 6pm also...

[thelittlepenguin]

yay i passed 8.01 just now! 16 pts haha...

 

but i cant book my TP sia...cuz they say i haven't taken my BTLs yet...#$%#^%...

 

i really dun understand why i have to sit through the lessons all over again when i already have my class 3 licence...it's only understandable if they require me to take BTT...

 

waste my time...

 

grrr...

 

 

but oh wells, TP here i come!!!

izzit...

i came in abit later at nput 11.50

wat lesson you taking yesterday?

oh ya and wat session?

2B 4.01 (S-course and crank course)

2nd Session 0950 - 1130

 

but i cant book my TP sia...cuz they say i haven't taken my BTLs yet...#$%#^%...

Ya lor, same here! Already have Class 3 but still need to attend the 2 BTLs. In the end, I completed the 2 BTLs and 2 RTLs in a single day and cleared the RTT 1st before my 1st practical lesson. Cos I think once u start ur practical trg, u'll have no mood to attend theory lessons and take theory evaluation and RTT. All u'll think of is the TP practical test and getting that licence. After clearing ur practical evaluation, then u realise u haven't cleared the theory requirements and can't book for ur practical test. What a sian feeling!

At least can show her how to control the throttle lor. Unless she got friend that ride the same bike as the sch one then can haf a better way of trying.

yay booked my TP on 28 June!

 

there were 2 dates available (26th and 28th) but since 26th got monday blues (for testers, i suppose) and i passed 8.01 first attempt on 28th May, therefore 28th better ba...

 

anyone else taking same as me?

 

 

anyway does it mean i'm one of the first few to book 28th (judging that last nite was first attempt 26th and repeat takers 26th also, but today is 26th and 28th respectively) means i'll be one of the first to take my test on that day?

 

used to hope to take TP as early as possible but now suddenly starting to feel 1mth not very far away...
