Cool down 2B riders....
-
Yesterday nite, riding towards jurong along AYE, at the extreme right lane going at my normal speed following a car, then i notice a bike coming at a speed at my lane. I took another glance and saw that it is already behind me. Its was a SP.
As i do not like cars and bikes to follow me 2 close, so i change lane and overtake the car infront of me. He follow me and continue tailgating me. i change to the middle lane, he follow me. i was wondering what is this guy trying to prove? A class 2b bike following a class 2 bike wherever lane he go?
I maintain my throttle and remain my cool until i exit.
I can easily shake off this bugger, but if there is a speed trap infront, then there goes my 3 lic. Any class 2 and class 2a riders experience this b4? -
i think most pple experince this

Glad you kept your cool. I'm not here to side anyone. Just my thots, since he is going fast, he also might need to change lane too, he follow you cos itz like you 'open the way' for him. In another words, he follow your lead.
But doesn't means hecan tailgate you. Thatz where he did worng. Did he overtake you? Hope he don't if you are not going too slow. I always respect class 2 bikes. I wun overtake them unless the speed they travel is uncomfortable for me.
Just my thoughts... Dun flame me hor...
-
I'm a 2B rider. True, sometimes I follow behind a vehicle because it opens the way for me. That is if he is faster than me, but I do keep my distance when travelling fast.
I will overtake any vehicle (except TP car ... hee hee ..) where possible to maintain my speed. I will actually switch over to the next lane completely before coming back although it was possible for me to squeeze pass the vehicle in the same lane. Of course if I have to switch lane too many times, I'll just stay in the lane. -

Of course managed to keep cool lah.
Anyway, i think a lot of 2b n 2a riders when get lic all very fierce, i was once at these stages.
Maybe humans are like that lah, bike powerful, must wreak!
Last time when i 2B that time, was riding a hornet125. Damm this bike is useless, always let aprilla, sp, tzm even rxz lap me.
Then the mind set was, "Don't let me get 2a, if not sure lap u all"
Haha, when i got my 2A and got a 400, these bike were all my target. I would do all kind of stunts like zoom pass at high speed at their blind spot, boy it was fun. Don't say i bully small bike, when u were torture by those 2b bike, then u would think it is pay back time. (U wouldn't understand till you get a 2A bike, always must be in front of other bikes) Hehe, cannot lose face, must be in front
Just after 3 mths of aggressive riding, was caught by the law. Deduct 18 points nearly kantong, went to appeal mp, end up deduct 12 points. So left 0 point for the rest of the year, haha, maybe this is call "Retribution".
But u can only blame yourself for the playfulness.
Maybe when u have bypass a lot of stages then u will know that your lic is actually very previous.
Now, When i riding on S'pore road, be it fast cars or bikes who zoom pass me, i would tell myself, Maybe this guy on a rush or something like that lah. Try to think in another way, and you would live to ride another day. As if you want to play and got caught or accident. You can only blame yourself, remember the finger pointing.
One finger point people and three other fingers point back to yourself.
Don't say i ride my bike don't speed, everyone like to speed, just that i chose to do it at NS highway. Get caught the most pay the "fine" on the spot.
Am welcome to bring anyone there to speed till you get bored.
Thanks all for reading my story. -
wa lao, i was thinking of getting hornet 125 when get lic, but after u juz say that, i better think twice.
-
I think the best solution to all these is to just let them be. Whoever that comes at you to irritate you on the road, just ignore them. Be it bigger CC bikes or smaller ones.
Ultimately, they are the ones who will lose out. Coz they are riding recklessly, so the risks of accidents are higher.
If they dun treasure their lives and come to fool around wif you on the road, it's their problem when something happens to them. -
if i get big bike... i will not zOOm pass everyone... i will ride slowly... let ppl see my bike loh.. think of it.. ppl see ur bike.. eg. hayabusa, R1 , R6, G1, anything big la.. even fireblade will do... ppl know their power loh... those who wanna lap u are idiots... no need to go at great speed ppl also know ur bike have power..
like at orchard u see porsche and viper... they go SLOW... let ppl see... 1 look ppl know..."wah... power car... siam siam... "
no need to rev with them one... spend so much money on a powerful vehicle.. must also let ppl admire abit mah... HahaHaha
:p
just my 2 cents...

AHEM~~!!!!!Originally posted by Strife:wa lao, i was thinking of getting hornet 125 when get lic, but after u juz say that, i better think twice.
yes i agree hornet 125 is slow, always kena lap. its ok for me to let others zoom off right beside, in fact i'm glad my bike does not have the ability to catch them, it has tamed my mindset to tell myself, "forget it... why bother abt them? u cant catch them anywayz."
and somehow i believe its a maturity of thought when dis happens. maybe i get bigger bike liao will wanna chase but i'll still tell myself... why bother? -
when i see bigger bikes behind me, jus give way lor, they wun guai lan if u never guai lan... unless.....
but stil, some ppl like to play around on the rds.... sumtimes i also 'chase' after bigger bikes until i cannot see them... as long as u r SAFE behind them in the same line, ok rite?

and i have always tot that on the road, its the ,mentality that counts and the attitude, not the size of the bike.
even small bikes can 'bully' big bikes -
Hmmmm, i always recommend my fresh 2b lic holders to get a road bike. Either a RXZ or Lau K. 2B is the time where u gain road experience, there sure to be buangs. Getting a faring bike, if buang sure faring kenna. Then $$ to respray or repair.Originally posted by Strife:wa lao, i was thinking of getting hornet 125 when get lic, but after u juz say that, i better think twice.
For road bike, cheap cheap only. Buang also not that heart pain.
Really regret getting the hornet 125, cost me quite a lot to understand how a bike works.

Really hope you would be like what you had mention above loh.Originally posted by -=[ChEeZe]=-:if i get big bike... i will not zOOm pass everyone... i will ride slowly... let ppl see my bike loh.. think of it.. ppl see ur bike.. eg. hayabusa, R1 , R6, G1, anything big la.. even fireblade will do... ppl know their power loh... those who wanna lap u are idiots... no need to go at great speed ppl also know ur bike have power..

A lot of people can't loh,
For example: You ride a sp and you reach a junction, while waiting for the green light, u saw a SP rider that you don't know. When green light appears, U will sure open a bit more throttle then usual. Maybe this is human nature, must be faster then another.

Haha, Just like my past experience.Originally posted by feng125:AHEM~~!!!!!

Hmmmm, really need a lot of self-control loh!
=) -
Sometime ppl just follow close to have a better lok of ur bike. I sometime do that too... just to have a better lok. (But most of the time ppl tend to speed up..hehe...)
Well sad to say,
I'm impulsive and still try to keep my cool when some smaller bike try to play punk wif me. 
But some time they r too much..asp. when u wif gal. -
NEVER SPEED IN THE SAME LINE! Its Dangerous if its quite near, u will never know that he might sudden brake or try to avoid a stone or whatever. You behind him might concentrate more on him then the road condition. Then You might crash onto him or self-skid. Always give yourself some allowance and distance. You don't know when you would perform E-Brake rite?Originally posted by WhitePhantom:when i see bigger bikes behind me, jus give way lor, they wun guai lan if u never guai lan... unless.....

For the SP, he is trying to be funny lah.Originally posted by AyaMi:and i have always tot that on the road, its the ,mentality that counts and the attitude, not the size of the bike.

No point playing with him, as he is not in my range. And i don't want to waste my petrol on him. But i might consider doing it at NSH.
Hehe! -
Guess they still don't know their limits.Originally posted by R1:Sometime ppl just follow close to have a better lok of ur bike. I sometime do that too... just to have a better lok. (But most of the time ppl tend to speed up..hehe...)

Am always practising self-control when i on s'pore road. Nowadays, more and more accidents liao. ScarY! -
Guys try to ride saftly cos accident are riseing sky high nowadays. (Telling my self that also)
More Bike Accident = Increase in Insurance and "more" Law and restriction from TP. -
many people tell me i have no 'respect' for bigger bikes, infact earlier this afternoon i was told that again and that i like to show off my bike / power / skill.
i'd just like to say that, slowing down on purpose just because you suddenly see a bigger cc bike infront of you is DUMB.
if you are in my way, travelling slower than me, or just plain road hogging, do not expect me to slow down just because your bike is bigger.
last nite on my way to JB through CTE/SLE, there was this CBR929, travelling roughly 90-100kmh, between 1st and 2nd lane.
i was behind him. i was travelling faster. what would be the next logical step in your thought process? i believe most of you will slow down and SLOWLY accelerate pass him.
sorry, i have no patience for that.
he went to the middle of the 1st lane, he gave me space, what do you expect me to do? if you saw a $10 note on the floor, would you pick it up or walk away?
logical step -> drop gear open throttle.
next thing i know the bloody bugger chase me all the way to JB.
phun.
respecting someone for getting a license earlier than you or being able to afford a bigger bike is dumb.
not everyone that overtakes you is jio-ing you to race. -
agree wif you ric, i always at the back of the pack and when traveling alone always kena blow by 400 and small bike like SP,tzm AND ETCOriginally posted by feng125:AHEM~~!!!!!

Speed is Nothing without Control -
nismoS132 we don't expect u to slow down, just don't pick up speed when cutting us or cut real near.
