invisible hazards and challenges
The public has asked and Moto from zero can only find how to comply. From the beginning I clarify that I have nothing against scooters. I find a type of bike designed to meet a very specific function: to provide rapid transport and uncomplicated, free of the learning process that requires a motorcycle gear. Personally, I find the bike of choice for students, women and people of both sexes who do not care much dominate the capricious but exciting characteristics of a gearbox. In what is, the scooter deserves his place and respect within the great family of powered two-wheelers. With that said, it's time to talk about the challenges "invisible" that comes with the package Scooter.
* The scooter as fashion: if it is true that the modern scooter is being a descendant of the Italian Vespas or least 5-6 more decades, today has become a fashion, a "boom" ... and both fads like " booms "always take charge. If we buy the average scooter with a motorcycle gear of equal displacement almost always the scooter will cost, citing conservative figures, some 10-15% more than a manual bike just to be in vogue and being scooter . See how a similar phenomenon has been occurring with iPods and iPhones just to be fashionable and be "Apple" when the most informed know that other brands offer articles on the same line but with higher capabilities.
* plastic and more plastic ... how expensive! Although I have not had scooters and there are no plans to buy it, I have handled several student scooters and I've spoken with many friends and acquaintances who have one or have had. All agree that fall when damage to the plastic of the body (or should we say "motocería") are substantial and expensive to repair. Our partner and friend Steven, started with the bikes with a Honda Elite 125cc scooter is one that told me what ridiculously expensive it is to buy the plastic parts of the vehicle. Apparently this does not just happen scooters with brands such as Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha, but also with lots of Chinese brands or "Ameri-China" low quality. We return to the point that fashion is not always pay benevolent pocket.
* flee the holes like the plague: nothing worse than going into a hole on a bike ... more if the rim of the bike is so small as in the
scooter and the car desnariza above us. Even with the sharp reflexes, a rainy day is easy to go in one of those huecotes camouflaging the water ends. Not much to say here, but if they happen to test soil in this way, hopefully, lead the team protection Properly ...
* comfortable driving position but ... But in case of slip, as when we stopped on an oil slick in the rain or on gravel or pebbles, collected the lead foot and the delay hinders classic shoe to the floor to straighten the bike before completely losing control . The broader platform to put your feet again we will take trying to save us from this slip. For these purposes it is more useful the position of riding the bike and wild common.
* Start the scooter driven ... aaaah?? As with any vehicle automatic if the battery is going, they ruin the electric start or kick ... mmm ... well, get ready to call crane or push scooter painful inertia stranded. Once I tried to rescue a girl who was dumped on his scooter in the Beltway, by Guan. I stopped to see if I could help, but when I said the problem was with the electrical system and that even with the pin would start immediately knew that it would not power that accompany a while, do a couple of suggestions and see if you served to take her somewhere. The girl did not want to leave the scooter parked somewhere nearby, and I had to wish him luck and follow my path. What started pushing not chuck serve ...
* Women ... so cute but so badly dressed: Although this is not a gender-cutting issue, and that this long and endless debate bores me to death, here I have to give me the bill the most women who ride scooters. If you hate me well, but please think. Also, I've done the criticism of badly dressed men going on a motorcycle.
everyday thing is to see girls and women who are in good arregladitas scooter, well played to sexy with high heels / slippers and all ... ahem! Heels to ride a bike? Almost transparent blouse? Helmets open to non headlong over the account? The problem begins when we assume that riding a bike NOT okay walking heels (can use the scooter drawer or compartment to cast around and changed in the office) and is NOT good ride without protective gear (if you've read my other articles on protective equipment, know that this will have the unglamorous end of "walk to c. .. pela'o"). is totally valid point not to throw vanity on the floor wearing a space suit to go to work or running errands on the scooter, but who says you can not look feminine, beautiful and safe with the right accessories to ride a bike? I promise you a topic later on protective equipment for women. Safety is and must always be the priority.
* Easy walking does not mean easy to operate: this is often the most deadly trap scooter. The car itself is not to blame, because as I said before, was designed to be easy to handle, period. The problem is when the rookie in the gal of jet bought the scooter just thinking about him mounted and gas without having real experience in what is circular streets dodging cars, holes, stains or oil. know an infinity of cases of people going to an agency managing the scooter goes just like that, with the second cap that gives the agency, unlicensed and uninsured and throwing the Ring presotas without thinking about the risks. There are people who do the same with the bike marches, but this does at least make them think about it, given that the bike requires more coordination to manual handling. This false security that the scooter has come face to more than a beginner looking for the easy solution and never saw the need to learn to handle your bike really automatic. See that even in countries where there is more motorcycling culture, management courses are focused solely on driving the scooter. Aha: Scooter Driving Courses! bet that much @ s and this happened to them over the head ...
In summary, the Scooter deserves her place in the bikes. It has its history, its rationale and its appeal. I'm not fever automatic bikes, but given that so many people opt for these vehicles to make their entry into the world of motorcycles, is fair to say these "invisible details" that become risks when someone buys and believes Scooter no longer need to know anything more than sit and give it gas. Enjoy their scooters, but not trust and do not stop learning on safe driving and driving on public roads!
See you on the road, Rodrigo Montero

What Stds Can You Find With A Urine Sample?
The dance does not end up
Andrés García pressed play on your remote control and mambo begins. Turn the hands to the front as winding a rope and then jumps back. The dance has begun. Her students are behind him looking at her legs, trying to bring their own pace, fast, accurate. He says the names of the moves, warning of the change. Turn on your body, gives several steps back diagonally across the foot, then forward, then back to back, diagonally opposite, while waving his arms.

Stomach Sensitive To Pressure
Scooter ... NO WE BUCHONES A4 (high capacity) NOT FOR EYE or
In Moto from zero is a matter of almost daily calls from people interested to obtain a license to high-powered motorcycle, the famous A4, ranging from 501 cc up and no limit. The demand that has this rental service and preparation is enough, since it is known that many big bike who has not walking provide learners or people without a license and domestic companies engaged in would not normally rent bikes only license one day and ask current A4 (uh, that is, like a dog chasing its tail!). Truck Driving
presents challenges very different from piloting a motorcycle, but applicants for our service are almost always drivers and only think in terms of the 4 wheels and the body that normally used. Therefore, it often we lose touch over the tag an aspiring A4 believes that "it can play" by taking the highest motorcycle license not to be going from A1 to A2, A3 and A4. Let
the reasons why sometimes we are forced to reject or delay the plans of those who hire us to help them gain their license A4:
inexperienced and unrealistic expectations
While
to learn to drive a small car like a Suzuki Swift or a Daihatsu Cuore is not much difference between starting with a larger car as a Frontier or a Mitsubishi Montero (trucker arms deal not to handle any of the two types due to power steering and weight of these cars does not require us to bend the body in turns and if not we fall ill we stopped the car), the bike itself.
If the bike is very high, heavy and powerful in inexperienced hands their management will be strongly discouraged from challenging to. We had and experience with a student who assured us that he managed enough and move to the big bike would not be a problem, but ended up falling 4 times for 30 minutes, broke the handle of "clutch" and end up disappointed the skills that I thought I had. As much as we try to not become discouraged and try to best one of our small bikes, the pride did not allow such a thing and told us he had already decided that motorcycles were not for him ... at least not buying the bike shipped luxury I had in mind before class.
moment and based on our experience as instructors, a student who starts from scratch will need between 20 and 30 hours of rigorous training to acquire an intermediate level in a high-powered bike and take the A4 license.
Height, weight and skill of the driver VS. Height, weight and power of the bike
To actually use the bike, a Yamaha XT660 2006, it is necessary to have a certain height (about 1.70 to 1.75 up) to manage it well and avoid / minimize risk of falls. This is perhaps one of the most important to give the bike when a student, his height allows him to reach at least two toes to the floor. There is also the weight of the person, since the higher weight down the bike suspension seat and it becomes easier to contol the vehicle. Now, many times the skill of a driver either too high or too heavy manage to defeat the challenges of the XT. For all this is that currently perform diagnostic tests to applicants, often with small bike first, and decide case by case whether the person qualifies for the Preparation for A4 or best take remedial classes with Genesis-2 HJ150.
misunderstanding of the nature of the preparation A4
always do except that the A4 Preparation Service is not for the general public and that we reserve the right to reject unqualified candidates. Likewise, we stress that the service is not just a "bike hire", but "a preparation for winning motorcycle license." Despite these clarifications, always contact us to take them on the bike test a few minutes prior to practice. Our interest is not to rent to who you are and how it is (as they do in the premises of driving tests), but rather treat with the student and provide a preparation to meet your needs.
In our practice the aspirant learns to know the particularities of the same bike that will conduct the review, is trained to move the cones in more difficult conditions than the test audiovisual and get advice on what to do and do on the driving test. The only students that allow the option of bringing the bike on the day of the test are those who previously had adequate preparation Moto from Zero or acquaintances who are motorcycle drivers tested. Part of our responsibility is to train motorcyclists trained to patrol the streets I do not see how it would achieve "A4 taking the bike a few minutes before the test."
not misunderstand the issue: it is not impossible for a beginner to take his A4, I've had several students "from scratch" that after a thorough process managed to win the license, but you have to see if such person will be ready to take on the challenges and responsibilities in preparation for high-powered license. In our country we can go and good early start in the motorcycle license A4, unlike in most developed countries where the first several years are required in small bike and then do tests to big bike. Even well, there are take into account the points above and recognize if it really is advisable to maintain the goal or think in A3 (126-500cc).
People, go down the ego and bear in mind that licensing A4 is not a matter to be taken lightly, as one does not seek out trailer license (heavy truck) without even knowing how to handle light vehicles ( B1).
This is not about showing off on a motorcycle big, powerful and luxurious, if rather not know that we are honestly prepared to manage and dominate the motorcycle in which we assembled and thinking about how to further deepen our knowledge and experience motorcycling.
The A4 should be seen for what it really is: the equivalent of two-wheel trailer license, not something for walking and climbing slitting the ego. Please believe me, I'm sure any serious biker, years and tens of thousands of miles will advise them on a motorcycle humble start in cc's, and then do the changes as experience goes. The opposite is risky and counterproductive if not done with adequate supervision and training. See
road!
