Something is missing...............Where is our routine "SPARKIE" Toto ??!!!

[TOTO]

lol, if you gonna be there next time Hayden and its dry I'll spark you up

[Itchy_Kiwis]

thats a really great job Htcseng i missed the last one
thanks for recording it !
its just like tvnz Ondemand. LOL only better.



btw how to post youtube content on the board is llike this
[youtube.]###########[/youtube.]
replace the ###### with everything in the address of the video after the "="but not including!!!
eg your first vid djCWZ8ISbJc
NOTE!! so i could show you the script i had to insert a full stop after the the word youtube in brackets
you must not put that in for it to work

[hctseng]

Thanks so much !!! I am learning something everyday !!!

Nice vids man.
Might have to flog the wifes camera and do the same thing next week.
I really like the part when the TL started ROFL

[BMCruiser]

Excellent to see the video, especially for those of us who didn't get along this week. Will these be a regular feature now?

Great for revision too

[TOTO]

nothing beats the real thing imo.

while we on the vids topic look what i found

[fizbin]

bwhahahahahahaha that made my morning after i had to get up because of the kids.

Nass riders are invited on this mentor ride as KB & ulysses mentor program are now in parallel and complimentary. At the moment North only as Sis is still on holiday. I have left the Ulysses posting as read John the Mentor coordinator for Ulysses. All questions on KB :: Richard Tweedie 02102783488 or Answer phone 09 4820478 Speak clearly Regards Richard PS this is an open road mentoring

Sat- 20th Feb MENTORING AFTERNOON
Our Mentors are offering everyone who believes they would
like help in anyway with their riding skills. This is on a one on
one basis. Come along on the third Saturday of each month
whether you have registered or not.
We have two venues, both meeting at 2:00pm. Those living
North or West Auckland meet at Main highway, Albany Village,
opposite Toyota. Those living South or East Auckland, meet at
Aviation Café, Ardmore Airport. Phone John H for further info.
John is RIC - Phone 09 810 9160 or 021 - 128 5806

I have to say that while I learnt from riding around the cones on the one night I went, I did not feel like there was enough instruction on the theoretically correct way of doing things, and why.

Anybody elese think this too? If it is actually stated upfront, so we know what to look for and what we should be doing, it makes us learn (or at least exchange info and techniques) a lot faster than screwing around for ages before the light goes on.

If I could be so bold, I reckon I could demonstrate why counter-steering works in 60s without using any big words (like gyroscopic). I've been reading about the theory of counter steering recently, and about 88% of the effect comes from simple mechanics of motion (it's surprising how little the gyroscopic effect actually contributes ...).

Perhaps Richard and BigDog (have I got that handle correct?) may be kind enough to let steal 60s.


My experience is that you need at least three months of riding time before counter-steering will actually "click" in your head, and that riding time is needed more than theory to learn it. So I think the current approach is best ... just my two cents.

I would also encourage you to ask questions if something doesn't make sense or feels wrong. Everyone is really keen to help - and everyone learns a little bit different.

What have you been reading? I would be interezted to know how it works in simple mechanical terms without gyroscopics coming into play? I am not sure why you say it takes so long fo rcounter steering to click. Nobody ever taught me about it,l and when I figured it out for myself, it was instantaneous.

It just makes sense to me that if its an instructional course, then there should be some instruction. Instead we just did slalom between the cones with no instruction of what techniques there are to choose from or suggestions of how to better our technique. Or a demo of the correct technique.

Make no mistake, I dont want to sound like my namesake (although I am probably not doing a great job of this), I am just talking up for people that do want to get the most out of these evenings, and suggesting a way to make them more effective. Sure, going out and doing is the best way of learning for real. But you should at least have an idea of what you are aiming for. That way you can at least tell if you have done it wrong.

Use it, dont use it....


PS And I dont see what there is to "get" about counter steering. You want to go right at speed? Push forward on the right bar. You want to go left at speed? Push forward on the left bar. No other instruction needed. Instant control.
But without anybody telling me this in very simple terminology like I just did, it took me months of riding and a coupe of accidents n my teens to find out. There is a place for theory before practice.
