Learning to ride: On personality types
http://learning2ride.blogspot.com/2007/10/on-personality-types.html
Friday, October 26. After so long of not riding, or doing piss poor 5-minutes-a-go riding, I managed to clock up a couple of decent hours on the bike in the last 2 days. While freezing and rat-soaked on the highway this afternoon, i managed to observe myself not giving in to the usual trepidation of riding among big trucks in a downpour. Instead, i was actually feeling normal about it all. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). C: A girl with a mantra. Forty Years on Two Wheels.

Learning to ride: Accident Scene Management
http://learning2ride.blogspot.com/2008/01/accident-scene-management.html
Sunday, January 27. Someone posted this on the PerthRiders forum. Forum members can get to the original post here. But i thought it was worthwhile reproducing. An extremely important point is "Psychological Management' . At an accident site, peoples' adrenaline will be going full-blast and the most important thing is for at least one person to keep calm and to think. REMAIN CALM. THINK! 1) Get to victim, reassure, establish communication, first evaluation of victim. 5a) Things to tell EMS operator. 8) Ha...

Learning to ride: Brakes
http://learning2ride.blogspot.com/2008/01/brakes.html
Sunday, January 20. Unlike a lot of Hyosung owners, i've never had any problems with my yellow beastie. It could be that i haven't put many kays on her, as despite my best efforts, my only riding appears to be done for commuting purposes. And since i live something like 4 ot 5 kms from where i work, it's not a whole lot of commuting that i do. However I had the first mechanical issue with it last week. I'd not be able to back her up at all. She'd buck and nosedive when clutching in to change gear. I've s...

Learning to ride: FZ1N
http://learning2ride.blogspot.com/2007/11/fz1n.html
Thursday, November 29. I got to ride one back from the testing center to the bike shop which Brian. Operates out of. That was seriously fun. I need to do it again soon. And the web has revealed that they come in yellow. But still, Street Triple. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). C: A girl with a mantra.

Learning to ride: Winter coming
http://learning2ride.blogspot.com/2008/04/winter-comng.html
Tuesday, April 22. It's been a long while since i last posted. My attention has been taken up elsewhere. With travel and making a little bit of money out of my other obsession. Had i not run away to India. In March, i would probably have another bike by now, as that wasn't a cheap trip by any standard. Still, it did put a few things into perspective bike wise. It always feels funny on the first ride with winter gear in. I feel much like a stuffed toy trying to operate a tractor. All through summer i've b...

Learning to ride: Celebrity Motorcycling
http://learning2ride.blogspot.com/2008/01/celebrity-motorcycling.html
Thursday, January 31. Posted a story about Executive Motorcycling. There are more and more motorcyclists genuinely not short of a quid and who appreciate value for money before cheapness. Unfortunately, like many minorities, they find that few magazine articles or product reviews cater to them. Well, we’re going to change that! The image accompanying their maiden article. Was of course, the F4 CC MV Agusta. At about AUD$180,000 it's presently the world's most expensive. Cruise, whose net worth is upwards...

Learning to ride: Now that i have no bike....
http://learning2ride.blogspot.com/2008/05/now-that-i-have-no-bike.html
Sunday, May 25. Now that i have no bike. I keep bloody looking at them. Attributes my next bike has to have:. Comfortable riding position - i'm thinking a streetfighter, naked bike of some sort. Comfortable for pillion on commuting distances. Gotta start pillioning one day! Of my dreams would fit points 1 and 2, but not 3 at this point (not enough second hand ones around). I saw this GSR600 on Bikepoint. Fits all my criteria! More about the GSR600 here. Then i threw my criteria away.

Learning to ride: Test
http://learning2ride.blogspot.com/2007/11/test.html
Thursday, November 15. I've had all of 2 lessons on the big bike, and my test is apparently next Wednesday. Riding a big bike is awesome though. I think it's a YZF 600. That my instructor has us students riding; unlike my current grumbly v-twin, it's a silky smooth inline 4. I've never been on anything bigger than 250 cc prior to this, and the 600 is a total power trip to ride. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). C: A girl with a mantra. Forty Years on Two Wheels.

Learning to ride: Awesome ads

Tuesday, April 22. Classic. It made me laugh so much i couldn't breathe. Nothing better than watching great bike ads when one is at home with the flu! And they should just extend this R1 and make a movie out of it:. May 23, 2012 at 1:38 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). C: A girl with a mantra.
