I have my Ps coming up and last nite i have being practicing the slow manouvers.. i can do everything fine.. emergency stop was abit scary cause i did a stoppied lifting up the backwheel a metre high my mate said.. hahaha first big ass stopie and it was unintentional. anyhows the hardest part i have found is the cone weave.. the cones are 3.6metres from each other and are 0.6m offset to each side so u have to go around each cone.. now i tried.. and i rekon i can do some real good slow manouvers but this was so difficult on the fzr... i actualled turned so hard and went so slow my bike fell over.. lucky i caught it just b4 it hit the ground so no damage. wanna know if any1 can achieve this on the FZR? im just thinkin now to hire a cb250.. cause doin the cone weave is like hell crazy!!
Dean, Yeah I go for my p's pretty soon and I think the U turn and cone weave on an FZR would be tricky aye <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> so i'm gunna borrow my dads DT-230 So all should be sweet <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> I have not tried any of it yet but, pure speculation <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->
Damn fzr haha.. i can do the U turn perfect each time within 6.1 metres... i can do it in about 5.0-5.5 metres.. most of th etimes.. but the cone weave is like hell hard... damn freakin weave.
hmmm well, I have been riding since i was 4 and when i started i done that mini-cross stuff where ya gotta do all them games on a moto like, 4 bikes take offf weave throught 6 hats in a small space then grab a ring and return it to the front > you do this till no rings are left > I was state champ at it <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> when I was like 15. Only advice i can give is going faster usually helps and back brake is the key <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> hehe soz but that's all it got !! appart from slide the back end around <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> <!-- s:rofl: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":rofl:" title="Rofl" /><!-- s:rofl: -->
YUP your sure to pass <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> hahaha
Hey dean did you get your P's ? i'm going for mine soon but don't know if i should use the FZR or my dads DT-230 ?
It is possible to do ur FZR and pass the Ps.. i could of done it just that the cone weave i set up was 120cms apart when they are in fact 60cms apart. Is ur dads bike like a cb 250.. if it has a better turnin cicrle then go for it.. just get adjusted to it first. I practiced heaps for the Ps.. i can do a U turn on the FZR in 5.5 metres.. 90% of the time.. i must of done it about 200 u turns.. so its good to be able to do it most of the times in the roads. Oh yeh I passed my Ps!! WOO HO!!!
hahahaha Good onya mate <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> cool, I have not tried any of the tests yet. I downloaded the PDF from the rta website with all the specs of the test so i sould prob set a few up and have a go aye <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> Yeah dads bike is a trail bike heaps good turning circle
