2 pracs for yesterday and today!
SP #6 - 8/2/15
RR #2 - 9/2/15
My second road revision (RR) today! How was it? It was really bad, but not as bad as my first RR last wednesday. Took my 2nd RR with 5 other guys, of which 4 of them are having their TP test tmr gosh. Only 1 of the guys and I are gonna take our TP next week....
First we went for warmup of 2 rounds around the circuit test route. For the first round, I entered the "S" course in neutral gear wtf. Guess I didn't kick it high enough or the gear just dropped to neutral on its own zzzzz. For my second round at my ebrake when I wanna stop, I didn't turn my handlebar to the centre and thus.... My right foot drop wtf. My instructor was standing infront and he gave me that "orh hor that's an immediate failure" look hahahhaa. Then we went out to the road.. When queuing up to exit bbdc, we had to do low speed control to slowly move up whenever vehicles exit bbdc and.... My right foot drop again wtf is wrong with me?!?! My instructor told me, "wah this stage already still right foot drop ah." Listen already I also feel stress.
Did 4 rounds today for our public test route and this time my uturning wasn't as bad as my 1st RR. But I guess nerves got the best of me, when I wanna move to the stop line at the uturn... I dropped my right foot for 2 rounds (out of 4) lah. *SHAKE MY HEAD* fail liao lor really, well done joyce well done.
Before returning our bikes, we went to do 1 round of narrow plank, pylon slalom and ebrake. I think I went too fast for ebrake and step too much on my rear brake and guess what happened... My rear wheel kena locked, I ALMOST SKIDDED.. ALMOST!!!!!! My handlebar was moving left and right already and I immediately released my brakes and braked again.. Of cos I exceeded the stop line by ALOT.
I guess the toughest circuit courses for me will be the S course, whether I'll hit the required timing and I still try my best to not exit the course so fast and Ebrake, sometimes my posture is wrong or I still do clutch in early. Practice practice practice!!!

RR #1
RR #1 (Road Revision) - 4/2/15
Its been 6 weeks since I last rode on the public road, cos 6 weeks ago when I was riding on the public road was because I was taking my prac 8.01 final evaluation! So yeah since my TP is nearing I decided to go for a session of RR. Anyway first of all I wanna say , I DID HORRIBLE. Really really horrible!!!
Took my RR with 2 other girls and 1 guy, our instructors were George and Izhardi! Think we did about 5 rounds around the public test route and out of 5, I only did 1 passable uturn during my last round!!! The rest was cos I didn't turn handlebar more, threw my clutch too much or I didn't release enough rear brake so I wobbled really badly when I was uturning. I've done alot of uturn practices in the circuit during my rc and sp prior to today's rr and they were all fine!! When I got on the public road I felt damn bloody nervous!!! Like traffic was heavy and damn unpredictable lah.
Many times I chose to go out of the filter lane at the wrong time = alot of vehicles = difficult to lane change. There was once I got stuck behind this sibei huge truck doing a uturn (I had to stay on the first lane after lane changing after the filter lane), the driver positioned himself on the first lane wtf I know he needs more clearance and all but my instructor said it is illegal to do that. Also I couldn't gauge whether or not the pedestrians wanna cross the zebra crossing so I just moved off, which is an immediate failure lah I should have waited to see if they really wanna cross or not.
So many mistakes!!!! If this was a real TP I think just plainly based on my public test route performance, I would have gotten like over 30-40 demerit points with 2 immediate failures man. TP is coming up in 13 days!!!!! Seriously must go for more RR practices already. Felt extremely lethargic and my head hurt after my RR, think I used too much energy to predict road hazards, wanna move off or not or I just think too much etc LOL.
On the bright side, I made friend with this lady during my RR just now. Knowing she didn't pass her 1st try of TP just last dec, she told me how the TP will be like and stuff. And she's taking her 2nd try of TP on the same day as me! Thankful that there'll be a familiar face during my TP.
Horrible performance today no joke man. Better book 2 more RR and get my shit together hhahahaha!
