Through the hundreds of students I have had the good fortune to attend, it is easy to predict when, how, where and why they are prone to fall. I mean even drops truth, forced landings where the person gets hurt and the bike suffered considerable damage ... I speak rather of the caidillas "without grace" sometime Freshman (and to one another not so inexperienced) always ends up trying.
These declines are the result of inexperience and almost all go through them for the simple reason that we have to learn without proper instruction. In the context of driving a motorcycle is much more subtle and complicated than its counterpart of 4 wheels, it is deplorable that in Costa Rica has dozens of car driving schools and until recently not a single motorcycle, and this has been a major concern of Moto from zero. For this reason, we share with our esteemed public anatomy and details of these falls "book" so they can learn to avoid or at least reduce how often they happen.
Fall Duck
If any rather have seen the ducklings fall of shooting game will understand the idea that gives its name to this fall so common. The fall of the duck, as my poetic creativity baptizing the term, is given due to incorrect application front brake the bike in low speed maneuvers (approximately less than 25 km / h), especially during a turn.
When we move to less than 25 km / h the main source of traction of the bike is the rear wheel and smooth ride to stop we need to "attack the source of tension" through the use of pedal rear brake. As the beginner still not used to distribute the weight of his body slightly to the left side of the bike in order to press the brake pedal and specify a low speed, it tends to go straight or tilted to the right in the last phase the braking. In doing so, any attempt to operate the brake pedal is going to shift our weight to the right, creating imbalance, forcing us to take your right foot to avoid falling over to that side. In beginner's mind this has all the logic of the world, but in the real world this is to miss the opportunity to apply the brakes at low speed star, so the only thing left is applied excessively fast, front brake handle. As in this situation and thus pull the weight of the bike is concentrated behind the front wheel is lightweight and easy to lock the account slowing over the right handle. When this happens, the front tire stops abruptly and dry, just to get "invisible hit" the accumulated momentum, or inertia, which brought the bike. This blow sent the inertia invisible to the front suspension and creates a dynamic of chaos and instability in the frame of our bike.
If all this happens during braking at low speed in a straight line depending upon the wrong speed braking, weight and height of the bike (to name just the main factors), despite the pull or header that will give our two-wheeled friend, even going to be able to save us from the fall. However, if this occurs during a slow turn, the mere fact of spiking the front brake will be almost an absolute certainty fall (the chances of holding the bike, even shorter and lighter than it, are almost nil and if perhaps, they often end in "twitching" in the lower back).
Slippery Foot Fall
This other type of fall can be moving or even stopped the bike and is more common than many people imagine. It is usual to stop the bike, say at a red light or traffic light, go down a foot or both suffer a slip and a sandy surface, for piedrillas, an oil slick, mud, moss or any substance or material that produces low traction and slip from our soil. Although these falls often silly and pompous do nothing to hurt our pride and become the laughingstock of the spectators, we sometimes can hurt an ankle, give a muffle quemón or other troublesome injury. This is one reason why it is very important to always wear shoes with good traction and also protect the ankle or above. Nor can we dispense care to see where we end up putting foot to stop the bike. Botonazo The Fall of
For the Puritan neglected to check if the bike is in neutral and start with the handle of clutch all the way, is another fall without grace is turn the ignition key and immediately press the button electric starter. In this case, if the bike had been running, the botonazo will cause the bike jumped a dramatic and the jump or head butt is sticking to not be in front. The lack of care can be costly, especially if the bike after botonazo is embedded in the bumper of an Audi, BMW or other luxury car, or if it ends up hurting someone who was going on or was close. Once I loaned the bike to a man and I finally left in 1st gear engaged. At that time I used to leave the bike parked up, let alone put the clutch to the bottom before giving button, so when I picked up my bike and turned it on, it hit this jump that I got out of hand, hit against a wall and then fell to the ground. Thank God no one was passing, but apart from the horrible shock that I took my bike, GN125, had to suffer the consequences and I had to change and a directional handle on ... and all for a careless fool!
The Fall of the Phantom Pin
Another way to see the ground is down the side pin of the bike in a hurry and without care. If during that time did not extend well pin to its maximum position and the spring yield (fat may be missing or damage to the little room) will not be long before we know it. We can not stop the bike regularly review and give the right maintenance for it to take care of us next to each other on the road and anywhere. Also remember that before we get off the bike to make sure the pin is secure and will hold the bike well as we descended. I've seen the bad habit, both among students and in some other people, to dismantle the bike and start to pin down until then. If for some strange reason the person slips getting off the bike the fall will be accompanied by a hot metal car at least about 100 kg. The leg goes first (the ideal is to find and download it without seeing, and always keep alert in view ahead and mirrors) and always will be a good habit to "touch" or "push" two times to verify that we are not going to hit a scare. Hitch Fall
This is the bad experience of the clothes, the package, a shoelace or anything else we wear on us somewhere snagging projection of the bike, especially but not exclusively when we go down. We must be very careful with this and not even so much as go up or down on the bike, but when we go on the road. Once almost killed myself going into a corner because a cord got caught me on the arm of changes and I could not march down the time ... Do not be surprised if now all are chock boots and, if anything, with ties, I wear shorts or me I keep inside the shoe. As for the rest of the clothes, like baggy, loose straps of the bag or whatever, we apply the same advice. Recently I had to help a boy who finished with the sweater wrapped around the chain of the bike (to me and I had spent some time with the same layer of the bike!). me are probably forgetting some other fall without grace, but suffice for now with the above. I have faith that through this reading, my dear readers, you learn better how avoid these falls why many spend to not repeat. It is not really needed to learn could you be falling, so hopefully begin to experience for somebody else.
