not be fooled: It's not like the bike!
Very despite the obvious similarities, we must make this very clear:
Riding a motorcycle is NOT like riding a bike!
People riding a bike, apart from that seems to have forgotten how difficult it was to us tod @ s at the time, imagine that because the bike has a crank, chain and two wheels is being "almost equal easy as the bike. " It is true that the bike is the relative evolution of the bike, biking is also true that lots facilitates the learning process on the bike, but until there should come the issue of associations and comparisons.
Some points I would like to note here are:
protection Accessories: live in a culture of "me is not going to happen," where all the bad and ugly happens to others and never happen to us. As a child I remember my neighborhood friends and I were on bikes, BMX classic. Nobody, not one, had the least protection ... in fact make fun when we saw someone else's neighborhood carajillo helmet (and worse if he was wearing elbow pads and knee pads!). We were all powerful and invincible and so was the greatest folly of the world put accessories just put them to the little girls who went rollerblading on our block. Lucy our bloody scrapes, pink skin after we dropped the grains and the subsequent scars as trophies of war ...
I can not say any more than those were great times, thanks to God will never uncover the coconut (and we were very close more than once!) And despite the good intentions and innocence, it was somewhat irresponsible on the part of our moms and dads to let us go like that. I am of the belief that in large part because of this, the majority of adults who go on a bike now never think to spend on protection. If children use props was silly and ridiculous and the bike itself is like a big bike, it is difficult if not impossible to convince someone to ride a bike have to go "well-wrapped."
Just think of it as a 20 km / h, a relatively slow and easy to reach on a bicycle, you can (mis) kill anyone. Why people do not think then how easy it is to get injured or even worse pa'l hole ready to go to 50, 75, 100 + km / h unless there is good helmet, gloves, protective boots and elbows, shoulders, back? Keep thinking like when we were children that protective equipment is ridiculous speaks very badly of our maturity and reason.
When
of travel: by not having motor, the bike is almost always relegated to run on the edge of the roadway, unless the rider has secret intentions of suicide vial. And 50 cc on there to start thinking about leaving the mentality of the bike and would occupy a portion of the track, especially from 100cc up. A common mistake that I meet my students who are receiving training from street is flowing too slowly with respect to the speed of traffic around them. Drive the motorcycle knowledge understand the concept implies that each lane should be divided into three (third left, middle third and right third) and that each is pursuing different objectives. I refer in more detail to the thirds of the lane as soon as I can.
braking Re-learning: some of the students I had were regular cyclists and while this is good in matters of balance and general knowledge of the two wheels, sometimes ends up costing them enough to learn specific new braking of the bike. To begin, we must take into account that the left handle of the bike is NOT a brake and the bike. The knob on the left is the direct control of the clutch or "clutch", which serves to disconnect / connect the transmission mechanism of the bike. Although at very low speeds has a side effect of stopping turning off the engine power the rest of the bike is NOT a deterrent in itself. Broadly speaking, without going into too much detail, the best brakes on the bike is integral braking, that is, with front and rear brake at the same time. The speed and traction road conditions will determine how much of one and how much the other should be applied. Dear cyclists: a re-learning has spoken!
And if I broke out or stay stuck? One thing is pop / being stranded on another bike and motorbike. Now for the obvious question of weight, in the worst case if we have a flat tire on the bike and we can not change or do not have to do, there remains the option to take her pushed up the house or riding in pickup a good Samaritan or a bus. In the bike is something else and that's where all the plans B and C that can track us in advance will make the difference between bad pass and pass Requete wrong. Although I have against me the fact of not being a very manual oriented things to get a fight with a tire exploded (although Lohe fact, and therefore hard for me I am too lazy), I have a whole series of strategies and precautions to minimize my bad times when I have been blown a tire in the middle of nowhere or have I been launched with some of my bikes. To ride a motorcycle should consider paying an insurance offer Roadside Assistance, and that, tools, emergency pumps, patches, etc. Today of course I had to get out of trouble with a tire repair and inflator Motul (recomendado!), but still not have worked had the ace up the sleeve of Road Assistance call INS. Risk
x 2 with passenger: one thing was when we rode to a Amigos at the bar or on a footrest that made him the parts of the motorcycle on the rear axle and the other now when one rides the girlfriend a friend or who is in the back seat of the bike. At least when we were kids if we Jalabe a cake no one was going to sue to collect insurance and our parents paid a settlement of the battered bicycle and our scaling skin. On one occasion I had the misfortune to get away in a corner while wearing a dear friend back and it was extremely ugly. We were not taken, we were not making me crazy, I had the bike with all insurance, but after the accident and for the same shock I made the mistake of moving the bike from the crash site and report it after my friend received medical care . I do not absolutely nothing happened, but my friend passed out and his hand sprained. Later, as I did not want insurance cover the damage or the attention of my friend in the CCSS were advising him to sue me for Vivi that will provide medical care Free. Know that the insurance fund is not going to want to attend and you will pass the row to the National Insurance Institute if they realize that one had a car accident. To avoid these problems is better not to walk passengers at all, but if you touch it, do it only if you have already advised on the scope of your insurance policy, if the passenger or passengers carried and protective gear if the person is trustworthy and not going to drive a demandota in case of an accident or road incident.
You know then ... look but other than that nothing to do! The Moto is "like a bicycle" and any person that is mounted on a thinking that is "as easy to walk like a bike" is being put to good couple of scares. It all starts with respect and understanding for the Moto! I have spoken!
