Pract 4.01
BBDC Class 2b
Pract 4.01 1 September 2018
Session 3: 11.30am-1.20pm
This is the practical that I'm most afraid of... I am afraid of the figure 8 cause I have tried it before when I was 18 or 19 and I failed terribly at it. So therefore, there is this constant fear that I'm not gonna do well and that I'm not gonna pass this. I really entered this practical with alot of fear and nervousness.
So I got the same instructor againnnn.. forgot his name suddenly.. I think the way he teaches is not bad and I felt that it was gonna be okay.
So, we had to do figure 8 and crank course. Figure 8 we had to go in, in gear 2, then look far ahead, press rear brake to control speed, maintain throttle and keep going, just before you reach the exit, check if got car, if have, need to kick down to gear 1 and stop, then check back, move off, check blindspot, turn left and prepare for crankcourse.
For crankcourse, we had to go in in gear 2, then just go through it and before exit, if got 2 motorbikes, wait at the exit, if got a car, wait at the exit.
So thats what we needed to do. The figure 8 need to complete in 11sec while the crankcourse is 6sec. I was really nervous. so I just went in really slowly to get the feel of the course. Slowly I got the hang of it. The stopping when got car part is really difficult though. There is so much to doooo.. But yeah, I think so far, I haven't been able to do properly the stopping.
Also, as I exit, I tend to do a wide turning out and there was once, I even almost cross the divider line. I think the instructor was shaking his head.. and he Oi me too. lol Then, he told me to reduce speed as I was exiting, I definitely should not be increasing speed. So I took that advice and remembered to reduce speed subsequently. I mounted curb once too, as I exited. However, I anticipated it and felt that I did not have time to change direction as I would definitely lose control of the bike. Therefore I mount curb and applied front brake. LOL so, I had control of the bike, stopped properly and did not fall off. The instructor commented saying, wah not bad ah, mount curb still can control. LOL
So, anyway yeah this was what happened. I think with more practice I managed to do it better. The instructor kept emphasizing that timing wasn't everything. He wanted to seek the proper techniques and all that. Yup, so he kept reminding us.
So, at the end of the lesson, the instructor said that I passed the lesson. I was shocked once again, cause yeah I felt I needed more practice. So, yeah that was it. On the road to 4.02 which is a runthrough of all the different courses.
