As you might remember from reading part 1- I still consider the general motorcycle rider education nothing else as a joke. That hasn’t much changed since then, so I’d like to make riders aware of these things, and not to bend down too early for that shiny thing… it’s maybe not gold, even when it looks like it…
OK, do you agree with me that ‘reading’ a book about the Alps is different as actually ‘being’ in the Alps?! Motorcycle riding is not a static 1- 2- 3- thing… this is loaded with emotions, variables and ‘feelings’. It’s not just black and white- but lots of gray zones. A book can’t make you feeling these things, and it’s on the imagination of its reader how the content… has found a place on his/her mind. In other words… what if you read a book about how to ride a motorcycle- but your imagination gives you a other understanding about it?! The result
Straight out: I consider the general motorcycle rider education- at least in California, nothing else as a joke. Though, my guess is that the situation isn’t much better in other states. First of- my knowledge comes from teaching thousands of students on the track and street- asking pretty much each of them from who- and where they learned from. I’ll give you some ‘pictures’ according to what I’ve seen where their level at:
There was a 17 year old new rider in one of me ‘Cornering School Day‘ classes and he was taught by “the” certified institution for motorcycle drivers licenses what ‘Trail Braking’ is. Quote: “...it’s applying the rear brake by being on the throttle while entering a turn“. I have no name for that kind of “made-up”- but theories…
There was that 65 years old Lady who reached retirement and bought a brand new motorcycle to finally live her dream. She called me to teach her to
Tons of tips are available on the internet. Some are good- some are bad… real bad.
Actually so bad, that it might end up in a disaster when you follow half-knowledge people. Advice number one… don’t listen to someone on a forum who thinks that using the rear brake makes more sense today as it made sense 20 years ago…. no- it still doesn’t make sense, because rules of physics don’t change. I understand that all of these “good” advices sound plausible for the newbie, and especially this is why you should spend less time listening to them.
If you are all set for the new riding season comes down to three factors;
1) riding experience; The experience (and this includes also close calls, crashes, and tons of feeling) is the only thing can’t be taught, but all of it makes the rider. You gotta go through this on your own.
2) knowledge; Can be taught in schools (there are good and bad ones), videos (not on youtube though), or books (good source)… and you’ll learn only if you admit to have to learn- even if you think you’re a heck of a rider. I’d prefer a school, because reading about climbing is kinda different as really hanging on the edge of a cliff Read more
