Category: Lesson 4

Well, initially, I did not know he was that funny instructor that Yas told me about until I saw his name on my booklet. Haha!

Well, I was late, again -.- No thanks to some home issues so I shall leave it as that.

For the first time in many, many practicals, it was actually SUNNY! It was great to be riding under the sun instead of rain. No more wet and smelly guards and helmet! But, that means tan lines instead D:

Anyway, I went through my test route and (this is sooo embarrassing) I got so engrossed in riding I forgot to go back to the starting point and ended up going pass the pedestrian crossing! I did not realize my mistake until I was riding past the first plank course when I realized I did not know where to go to next. So I went one whole round the main circuit and went back to starting point. I think all those that I passed by probably thought where the hell I was riding to or something since my bib obviously states “Lesson Four” :x

My instructor kept pointing out all my mistakes x_X He said my checking of “blind spots” was very poor. Very poor! D: But no instructor has ever said that! They said I forget to check but they did not say that I checked it wrongly! Apparently, I checked too late. He said I was to check before I make a turn. Rahhs. Why can’t they all agree in one thing? :/

Anyway, I kept going through the route over and over again. And my e-brake was not consistent ): Even during the briefing after that, my instructor said so, too. I blame it on the bike again XD My plank was horrigible as well ): I guess I love my figure 8 (: And my crank course is improving, too ^_^

So when the funny instructor was briefing us, I thought I would surely repeat the darn lesson again :/ So he held four booklets out and said, “I will be passing all four of you” I nearly passed out because I PASSED MY LESSON FOUR IN ONLY TWO PRACTICALS!!!! So happy cans?! XD

Turns out he knew that we would not want to waste precious moolah on the practicals and advised us to go for circuit revisions before moving on to lesson five. In which that was exactly what I planned to do even though The Turd is diving head on to lesson five :p

Wow. Lesson five. Now I just need to book my circuit revision slot (: Maybe I could pia one whole day on Monday ;D

Whee~ I passed! Now I just need to focus. And be more confident (:
(And, hopefully, get a good bike with co-operative brakes and gears XD)

I was running slightly late for my lesson four D: So when I reached there, The Turd was all ready for his practical. The Nameless Guy commented that I was late as well -.- Oh well.

So the start was trying out the stimulator in which, I have to say, WAS SO DIFFICULT CANS?! I was the last one of the four of us to try out that thingy and I kept going onto the grass area. Rahhs.

After that, we studied the test route and then we had a try.

The weather was grey and cloudy but at least the rain just stopped so it was quite cooling. Just that there isn’t any sun so no tan ): But I guess it’s good since that means no ugly tan lines XD

I did not like my instructor today :/ He’s so… well, another anal one, I guess. When I wanted to ask a question, he just cut me off by ignoring me and starting something else on the test route. WTF. Thanks a lot luh )< Not to mention he was going to bring us two rounds. Since there were four of us, we had to pillion each other. I, of course, chose the Nameless Guy. Oh! There was this other guy who was in my prac when we passed lesson two together :D Anyway, The Nameless Guy pillioned me first. I was not afraid. Just that I'm afraid I'll make him fall XD When it was my turn to pillion him, I asked him if he was afraid to die XD I AM A TERRIBLE RIDER WITH A PILLION!!! I can swear I'll kill my pillion man. All my focus was on trying hard not to fall and to balance that I forgot all my basics like signalling and all that. Even my check backs were not good :/ Meeh. And his helmet kept hitting on mine and now I know why my rider does not like it when my helmet his his/hers.

Basically, it’s not easy :/

Anyway, we went through the test route over and over again. Turns out I keep going to the wrong lanes since we need to change lanes and all that. The route was first, the slope, followed by the crank course and the figure 8 course, then we had to go do e-brake and finally the plank and the cones.

And when it was 20 minutes before our practicals were up, it started drizzling rather heavily. So it was cut short. Wtf. I feel cheated man. But at least that means I got to book my next slot without a long queue :D

The Turd passed today and he’s going for lesson five on Sunday morning :/ Why is he progressing faster than me? Rahhs ):

Anyway, going for another practical tomorrow! (:
