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!
