Need advice from experienced riders
-
Dear U, close ur throttle b4 making a turn. That is to slow the bike(apply front n rear brake if neccessary) make a point on the road and aim at where u r turning(ur head must turn to the direction u r turning). N apply rear brake(only) if u think u r abit to fast. Not too hard on the brakes or u'll skid.Originally posted by angelicpenny:haiz.... 5 lessons and still havent cleared my Class 2B practical 1. Feeling hopeless !!
Nearly got into accident inside circuit today coz when i turn at the corner the instructor said i never turn the handlebar enough so when i turning round the corner i ended up in the outer lane from the inner lane. Nearly got whacked by a car.
Can someone teach me how much to turn the handlebar please? Will you fall if you turn too much? Also do you open throttle while turning?
And thanks to you guys who replied my last post. I can put the bike on main stand with no problem now thanks to the techniques you all taught me.

Asking all Lau Jiao riders....
1) Redlight : Left leg down, or right leg down ?
2) Bend/Coner : Pull Clutch or Pull brake ?
3) Normal road : stick below 60 or Go as fast as u can
4) Cutting land : (check mirror and see no veh behind or its damn far away), so you signal and cut into land or just cut into lane w/o signalling
For my case:
1) right leg
2) Pull Clutch when entering, trottle out when exiting
3) As fast as i can
4) No car signal for fuk?! So far signal for fuk?
Totally different from what the sch taught -

That's why i'm only asking the lau jiao riders ma....
what you learn in sch.... theoritically is correct and to 'maximise' your safety, 'minimise' chances of accident.
But u see arh.....
1) Right leg down, left leg on gear during a red light, so that you can pick up asap, to avoid in a sutuation whereby you are in between 2 cars
( Unless of course if u are occupying the whole lane). Never stay too long inbetween 2 cars. U never know which cok will suddenly hand cramp and swerve into your land.
2) Pull clutch. This is personal preference i think.
Something the sch seldom teach is engin brake. ( My dad taught me that). I dunno other bikers, but riding a phantom sux, expecially when it rains or when rd is wet. I can pull the brake as hard as i can, but i dont feel the bike slowing down. Scary experiences... lolx
Engin brake gurantee to work 100% in all situations. ( Beginner better ask lau jiao how to use engin break. If u drop from gear 5 to gear 2, good luck to you)
Thats why when conering, i got 3 breaks to use
Releasing the clutch, gives me engin brake
Pulling the hand break, gives 2nd brake
Lastly is the foot brake
3)Going below 60kmph on the normal road is road hogging (personal belief lox) -
