MOTO SNIPER: MOTO

"Where will the hearing, will the bike" and "where it says the eye, put the bullet" are two sayings that describe the phenomenon of Ocular Driving. One of the mistakes common and recurrent novice with bikes is failing to keep their eye where it belongs. I will listen often tell my students "look forward", "up the view," the guide head spin "to correct the tendency to go looking down or the instruments of the motorcycle.

While it is quite difficult to prevent and correct this instinctive reaction, this detail of the eye is the driving distinguishes the makeshift trained rider. Returning to the analogy of the rifle and the bullet, the ability to make the bike go exactly where we want to take requires precision sniper ... failure is not an option. The lack of control and precision do not translate into an obstacle that lies ahead, not to take either a curve in a driving error to lose perspective.

"Where is the light, the bike will" is an axiom motorcycle, to a certain extent say, but outlines the fact that most of the time the eyes are going to dictate to the arms and the crank arms course of the rest of the bike. Not to say that if I am coming to see for a few short seconds at a striking girl 50 meters to my right, my bike is going to go as a magnet attracted to the little girl, but if I keep my eyes fixed out of my way for a long time I'll put in a dangerous situation. It is not difficult to imagine the beginner to bring the eyes down, listening to the instruments of the bike, ends up running into an obstacle or get scared and ends up falling.

To help correct these dangerous trends, say the following to achieve accurate visual driving:

1) IN STRAIGHT: When we handle the bike in a straight path, the view must be scanning the frontal view all as possible (this will depend whether other vehicles or obstacles below). If we follow a car or truck, it is wise to keep a distance of at least 2 seconds in ideal conditions (when no rain, no fog, the surface is stable, etc.) and about 4 seconds if visibility decreases or see affected traction of the tires of the bike. It is important to remember that we always have to watch our back environment, both with mirrors and with the lateral check, or "lifeline" as they say in English, with the head (the head turns at a right angle over your shoulder to cover the points blind in the mirrors).

2) path: During curves should be monitored not only forward (and backward), but use your head to guide the opening of the spin that unfolds before our eyes. It tries to anticipate the turn so that, if we have the equivalent pure face at 12 o'clock, during a right curve our eyes are going to find cover from 12 until 3 o'clock if possible . Similarly, if the turn off to the left, the view should range from 12 up to 9 o'clock, to have time to react to an eventual collapse, the truck stopped or oil stain divisaríamos never keeping his eyes fixed on the 12 o'clock in the curve. Walk like a horse with "blinders" is useless.




3) BACKWARD: We return to discuss the picture back because the learner has a strong tendency to forget that continue to circulate behind car, buses, trucks and other bikes. I can not overemphasize the importance of being checking mirrors and make the famous lifeguard, since this move does just that: save the skin of a life-threatening neglect. Suffice it to say that once while I was changing lanes, after reviewing my right mirror, I moved to the right just to take another rider who came perilously stuck in my blind spot on the bike. The fault was of the two: mine for settle for nothing but the mirror check before changing lanes and Campero deliveryman for assuming that I had seen him and I was not going to go places. Fortunately the incident was not over and above all, do not come any other vehicle in the rear, but I can imagine how much more dangerous would have been all in less favorable circumstances ... and all for a seemingly harmless oversight!


4) FIXATION TARGET: This happens when we were watching some point gone out of our way, as an obstacle, another vehicle, a hole, a stain or oil. and to divert attention to this objective we lose the normal route or avoidance with which we avoided an incident. If we consider that goal setting is always going to give (unless you close our eyes!), To avoid the danger ahead we blur the view of the danger and toward the point or route of escape. In this video you can see how the rider just as if nothing out of the curve and falls almost across the tree. This is what happens when we set eyes on the wrong place for a long time ...


I hope these tips to start practicing or, if you followed them, have them more into account. Do not forget that the bike sniper accuracy when the crank drive comes from our eyes and just the right training is going to become experts in the Conduct motorcyclists Ocular. Failure is not an option ...
