so. here i am. lesson 5.01

bikes goes out the park area.

turn right. down the road in 3rd-4th gear, depending. round the curve.
signal right, mirror check, blind spot check, get into the right lane. stop with lights signaling right.

no cars? safety? ok clear.
make a right turn into the right lane.

immediately signal left, mirror left, blind left check, head into the left lane.
blind spot again, than turn left into lane. care full here. its a two way road.
keep left, signal left. going to make two left turns onto the slope.

The Slope.
you go up it in 2nd gear if you the lanes are clear. if not, u wait at the bottom.
Once up the slope, stop on it,in 1st gear, bout 80% up the slope. this slope is to make sure u know how to move off from a stationary incline from 1st gear. ok.

signal right, to show u intend to head off. check right blind spot. you move off. across the top, cut off signal, stop at the bottom of the slope before the STOP line. signal left.

lanes clear, check both sides. check left blind spot, move off out into the lane. head off down this road, coming to a cross junction.STOP here. green lights, red lights, do as you will.

Green, check right, left, blind spot and move off. check check check check even if cross J appears clear.

Cross the junction, come to a stop at some cones. signal left. check left blind spot, and head into the S course. start off in 1st, get into 2nd FAST !

The S course.
slight turn right, than a full circle anti clockwise, half way, full circle clockwise. turn out onto the main road. if busy, stop. if clear, head out and turn left again into a small lane. cut off signal light.

stop at stop line. signal right, into crank course.

The Crank course.
pretty much like the s course. its just 90 degree bends. do this same, 2nd gear. end of course, if clear, head on out and stop at the cross junction . STOP line.

When green, head straight. check right, left, blind, than go. check check check.

right signal on, mirror check, blind check, get into right lane. STOP line.

check right, left, blind, and head off. turn onto "main road",time of a lane change. signal LEFT, mirror check, blind check, and get into the left lane. Get rdy to get off the "main road". its time for the fun part! you line up for the plank. check right blind spot before moving off.

The Plank.

something 8 inch wide, 1 inch high, 10m long i think. aim is, to stay on it, not fall off. fail if you do.
u gota stay on it for 6secs. 1st gear all the way. maintain balance. relax body. grip tank with legs. lean forward a bit. look far. bla bla bla.

after this, stop. its the pylon slalom next.

5 cones. done in 2nd gear. before moving, check right blind. move off, get into 2nd fast!!!!!
left, right, left, right and out. simple?? do it in 6secs.
after clearing the last cone, head to the next, the E break.

The E Break.

stop at the stop line, in 1st. check ahead. no one at the end of the course? ok, its your turn. check right blind, than off you go.

get to 30-35kmp before the 2nd cone. after this 2nd cone, is where you relax at the speed. and get ready for the e stop. floor is wet. theres a water hose that makes it wet all day!

0.5m from the 1st white line, close off the trottle. once cross this white line, do your stuff.
more front brakes than rear. both foot on pegs. dont jam front or ull kiss the floor.
STOP before the RED line. pass it and u fail.

just before stopping, left leg down, clutch in.
relax. check right blind, right leg down, left leg up, get to 1st. check left blind, left leg down, right leg up, check right blind, signal right to move off, than go. head round the final two bends, into the park area, and thats it.

you will know if you fail or pass by 11am. hey ho.

so now, all im doing is doing the test course. round and round and round till the instructors know that you get it right. than a small test by them, u pass, than go book for the TP exam. finally the end is in sight.
