the rider probably forgot to check the rear mirror.
if he knows got bas will turn left first. he will quickly move aside.

recent fatal accident involving rider + pillion @ federal highway bike lane.
this bike clash wit kapchai, but kapchai rider survives it seems.
lotsa comments on social media regarding the speed on motor lane.

This is why I try to avoid using Federal on a motorcycle when I can. Even when going to Shah Alam, I'd rather use the long, traffic-light filled route through Glenmarie.

There was a diagram shown on a facebook video that showed two kapchai riders colliding first, and the CBR500 rider + pillion swerved to avoid them, causing the crash into the sharp steel barrier.

which fb page u saw the vid?

bike lane suppose to make mcyclist safer.. but its the other way round...

Not sure if I'm allowed to link, but it's under Oh Bulan or some FB news portal. Should be one of the videos that pops up when you search Federal Highway accident on facebook's search bar. The diagram itself was from Harian Metro I believe.

As someone who avoids using those lanes, I can't say much except that in the times I did decide to use them, they were harrowing experiences. The narrow lanes and claustrophobic tunnels, coupled with almost 90 degree turns were clearly designed for smaller bikes like kapchais and scooters, but I feel even those bikes would have trouble navigating these lanes at their usual speeds.

thx for info.

tht bike lane is not perfect.

alot of xciden can be avoided if road users change their attitude..

It is proven that no amount of gory accident photos will stop riders/drivers to r/d recklessly on the road.

Today hv seen many groups shared pics of bike accident (thai?) the rider's head chopped off.

No amount of full gear, racing suit, racing helmet etc can save your head, if you ride @ neck breaking speed n shit happens...

Not full picture, a few missing.. lol.
Yeap Thai rider
Put la spoiler bro... muntah nanti.

i dont want to post those photos.its all over fb if others want to view.

in fact these 2 pics, jz bit of blood, and a ' helmet ' is enuf to tell the story...

Yeah, I saw the full photos on fb. Really gruesome.

Real reminder not to take unnecessary risks as a motorcyclist. The activity is dangerous enough as it is.

Hello everyone.. Just wanna drop in an say hello.. I'm a new rider just got my L license earlier this week and got my first bike home safely yesterday from the shop:) now practicing jalan2 around taman.. Hope to learn a thing or two here from all of you.

Welcome to the biking scene mdziaf. Remember to take it slow and don't fall into peer pressure

Welcome!

Some tips:
- Practice emergency brake on an empty road/space/car lot.
- Scan ahead.
- You will go where you look. So, concentrate on the road.

Thanks for the tips!

Yes now trying to find suitable place to practice emergency braking and probably do some low speed maneuvering as well.

Go and download Twist of the Wrist. It teaches you all the technical know how of bike riding.

How to use them will require practice of course.

Thanks for the reminder.. Had that as my to watch video but keep forgetting to do it

Yeah...stop watching your JAV for a while and watch this video.


Its quite simple to understand bike priciples. The also has another video on suspension setup. That one I fail.

There was a big multi-bike crash yesterday involving 4 riders returning in a convoy from Yamaha GenBlu event. Videos are all over facebook.

Hoping for the best for all parties involved...

dont overtake other bike so near and in zig zag way..
happen to me so many time

Some things i've noticed doing my commute to work...

1. I find it difficult to turn right compared to turning left (feels a bit kekok to turn right) - you guys have any tips on this?

2. Filtering traffic feels a bit pressured because i take it (too) slow for the riders behind.. Still trying to get used to judging the width of my bike vs the gap available.. Sigh
