The Official Mumbai Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

[satyenpoojary]

Ok! Here is an event that we were waiting for especially since the greater good meet and all. We all ride a lot, be it touring or commuting or any other form of weekend fun riding.... what this course aims to give is a 'biker' specific training on how to handle a trauma. We all have learnt the hard way that the problem sometimes is not the accident but the way we reacted to the accident, the availability of the first aid, and more so the right knowledge of things to do and things to avoid. This small session aims to address that, and would be a boon to all of us!

Posting verbatim from 'another' website...

A one day biker specific trauma related first aid workshop will be conducted by motoroids in the Mumbai pune region on the 4th of April, Sunday.

Tentative course program:

* Small quiz on the basic theory of first aid (course material will be supplied prior to the course)
* A grounding lecture by Dr Sanket Kawli on the course material supplied (this will be an interactive lecture so that doubts can be cleared)
* Lunch
* Demonstration, hands on. Dr Sanket will demonstrate the procedure, after which participants will have to do the same on their partners.
* "dummy victims" participants will have to give them "first aid" relevant to their condition


Please note, there will be limited seats as we want to keep the lecture interactive for maximum benefit to the participants.

Please contact your friendly neigbourhod motorep to register

Lets live to our commitment of and towards road safety!

Have posted this in pune and elsewhere but would want the mumbai brethren to go through this and help me with a solution to a very frustrating problem....

One of the fun challenges of riding on the track is learning to focus amidst

1. Am I carrying the right corner entry speed ?

1.1 Am I carrying the right speed is a direct result of have you braked right? To be able to brake right you need to hit the proper braking markers. It has happened to me countless no of times where I have braked and released the brake lever only to be surged ahead unexpectedly as I had not brushed off enough speed. Seeing myself unexpectedly surged ahead right when I needed to turn in a corner fooked my corner right then and there.

2. At what rate should I turn in ?

2.1 At what rate should I turn in is something that comes with experience I guess. But it will most certainly depend on the turning point that you have decided for a particular corner. If you have an early turn point you are basically encouraging a bad habit for most corners. With an early turn point I will have to turn in slow; with a later turn point I have to quick turn. I will also need good reference points for this if I want any consistency in turn points.

3. Am I gonna hit the apex ?

3.1 Am I gonna hit the apex depends largely on whether I have got the first two thingies right! If I have braked well I can focus better on the turn points and focus on looking through the turn. I think vision plays the biggest role in hitting the apex. When on track I developed this habit of saying 'HIT' to myself if I hit the apex I made out to be in a corner. If I didnt hit it, I murmured a slight 'MISS' to myself. This game made me focus more on the apex itself and not indulge in the common error of letting the apex out of the sight too soon in pursuit of looking through the turn. Even today its a gamble..I hit some apexes I miss some.

4. Will I get a good drive out ?

4.1 After the apex has been hit or missed you cant be arsed to be bothered about anything but the drive out of a corner. You try and salvage whatever damage that had been done by fooking up the corner by getting a good drive. Sometimes everything falls in its place and you are comfortable with a freaking good drive. Other times you are constantly battling to open that throttle but cant cause u arent done cornering yet and the bike cannot be stood up yet.

Now these are the thoughts that my brain is being overwhelmed with when cornering. Amidst all this my head explodes sometimes and then I am compelled to pull over and rest for a while. There isnt much of any consistency nor do I find myself going any faster. I just cant gather/muster up the courage of increasing my corner speeds cause I am never done with the calculations well before taking a corner and I always seem running out of time. All this results in cornering in a rush and as we all know if you arent smooth and rythmic in cornering you arent fast!

So do I just need more practice or am I doing something fundamentally wrong ? How can I grow the balls to go faster in a corner ? (Street and track)
