QUOTE(TheOnly @ Sep 10 2018, 09:49 PM) As i’m new to the biking world, im not sure on all the unwritten rules of the road, can any experienced rider share abit? Like how to tell if someone “bakar line”? How to know when its safe to cut other biker during a corner? Cannot cut at all? Even as a P plate biker I strongly agree with you, especially with jumling the red lights, everyday I ride to school, no matter what la tesco la aeon la I always see bikers running the red light and that kinda makes me cringe everytime I see someone jumping a red light.Here’s a few from me: 1. At traffic light tu, janganlah block the only fking way to the wide spot of roads. Ie. Don’t fking stop directly beside 2 cars if in front/around got alot of space! You’re causing all biker to queue in 1 line beside car - dangerous. 2. Lanesplitting, seriously do not farking race across traffic while lanesplitting, anything above 30km/h speed difference with other traffic jem is TOO dangerous, FU to those tailgaters causing unnecessary stress coz you’ll never know when they will do something stupid. 3. Don’t tailgate car, dont stay directly behind cars!! No matter u using 999mm brembo brake also no use, cars will always outbrake you in day to day situation. Also, u will lose your life if you tailgate and crash, as compared to driving, u lose your insurance only if crash while tailgating. 4. Similar to above, as a biker, please lah don’t, DO NOT follow cars traffic speed, you are annoying as fuck to car drivers. I hate the most when I driving and got bikes always speed matching with me. Apalanciao, you either cut me and get the fuck off or move away to slow lane. You are not safe riding at 100km/h at fastlane eventho all cars are moving at 100km/h. 5. Stop jumping the red light. Just.. stop. 6. Do not roadrage VS cars, you will undeniably die if you met someone that is not a pondan. Ie. For me i will without a question bang the fk out of you until you fly if you actually triggered me unnecessarily. I’m a biker myself, but no mercy for orang bodoh. 007SMH liked this post

Hi everyone,
Excellent thread in raising road safety awareness among motorcyclists. I find myself drawn towards Honda ST1100 for some unknown reason and is there a place where I can learn more about this bike etc ? Tried searching all of the 30+ pages but there's nothing. |

RE : Stopping beside the traffic lights or at the center of the road.
I prefer to stop along the road shoulder where it is safer and only move up to the traffic light just as it is about to turn green. While both cases has it merits at the traffic light, remember that there are vehicles zooming from across and we have witness vehicles ploughing into those awaiting at the road intersection.

- if you stop at sensor-based traffic light and the your road is empty, stop bit ahead of stop line but before yellow line, if unable, just stop at very left / right of the lane. there is many time that i see others vehicle was too afraid to come closer to stop behind you, that make the sensor not activated. so, you waiting for green light like stupid 10-15min there. some of the sensor here in Malaysia hardly to detect the presence of motorcycle. unless you're red-light runner then no comment haha. - regardless type of bike you have, learning off-road / trail riding skills is worth it. because even you're doing defensive riding, sometimes shit happen. - as a solo night rider, there is moment of "OMGWTF dude turn off your bloody AUX light blyat" when i meet others riders with all AUX light on, like a Christmas tree, rolling on the highway, as if they're riding alone off road. i also have 3 set of long-range spotligh and flood light all turned off and in standby, you want me to beam all to you back? i understand AUX light is important, if can't turn off, pointing it a bit down or just don't tailgate me, overtake. personal preferences: - when you're having fun weekend ride on the road, remember, there's people are working on the road. bus and lorry are rolling out there for a reason, overtake them with safe manner at right time is meaningful to them. |

I just stumbled on this thread a few days ago and there is genuine advice mixed with a lot of noise too.
What I would suggest to any newbie (or anyone else) who's ended up here looking for advice, read some books on the subject matter. There are far more experienced and qualified motorcyclists out there than some random poster on the internet. I recommend books also because the topics are usually arranged in better sequence and the knowledge contained is a lot more complete than YouTube videos. Of course, YouTube videos can help by visualising some of the harder concepts in books (e.g. gyroscopic forces and countersteering), but overall the videos aren't arranged sequentially and you can end watching many videos which have a lot of overlap over the same ideas. To OP, I would strongly suggest that you start a resource list in the first post. My recommended books are: 1. Proficient Motorcycling: The Ultimate Guide to Riding Well by David L. Hough https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/329406....tONuZex6&rank=1 2. Motorcycle Roadcraft:The Police Rider's Handbook by Penny Mares https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2139291...cycle-roadcraft This post has been edited by xXchelseafanXx: Jan 6 2021, 11:49 AM |
