10 rules that will save the life of a motorcyclist

"Many young drivers liter sportbikes only able to accelerate on the line. They can not stop the motorcycle at the specified point. They do not know how to safely rotate. Cling to the steering wheel, rather than use it as a governing body, "- said to these guys. However, they are convinced that you can ride on sportbikes quickly and safely. They teach what you do not give traditional Motoshkola. Today motoinstruktory told about ten common mistakes motorcyclists.

Members, do not chase the big cubic capacity!

"I have a Triumph Rocket III Roadster, - began with a small foreword and the apparent motion of the Board of the organizer Motohelp Dmitry Belsky. - This 500-pound bike with an engine capacity of 2, 3 liters. Twisting the handle half a millimeter - rides, a millimeter - flies more - and it turns into a cruel missile. Put the heaviest bike on the back wheel - simple. That bike could only manage a professional, even I do not always with them "friends". This is for beginners in such a cruel rocket becomes liter sportbike.



Young guys somehow believe that a smaller amount - it is small and not cool. They sit behind the wheel "litrovika" and engaged in self-education. Get a false image of himself and skills, form and fix errors in the first season of misconduct. Often they come to us guys on powerful motorbikes departure more than one season and believes that everyone can. In practice, it turns out the other way around: they do a lot is wrong.

It is best to learn to ride a motorcycle with a cubic capacity of 125 to 250 cc. Then, at the beginning of practice, transfer to a rental bike with an engine capacity of 600 cc. During this time, fix the skills to get a general concept to understand road strategy, to merge into traffic, learn to interact with other road users. And only then can choose his own - to change to Enduro, tourist, road builder, sportbike, if we so wish. "



At this point, the site, which hosts workshops, stopped two guys on sportbikes. "This is also my students. They only recently changed to a liter bikes, feeling confident - the guys waving his hand in greeting, continues to Dmitry. - Both, characteristically, bikes with V-twin engine, that is without difficult to predict for a novice jerks during the crackdown. "



Do not forget about your equipment, but do not count on it 100%!

A good helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, "bug" soften the fall, to prevent scrapes and scratches, but can not protect them from critical injuries. "Good equipment will help in case of an accident by 40% - believe motoinstruktory. - That's a lot, but not all. Most believe that wearing a helmet brand, if they are buying a second life, but it is not so. "

Do not cling to the steering wheel!

One of the common mistakes beginners, according to the guys from Motohelp, - it is the misuse of the steering wheel. "Remember, the steering wheel - the management body for it to cling to is not necessary - call for experienced riders. - After all, between man and the bike is the main point of contact - a driver in it, in fact, sitting, holding tank legs. If trying to keep the steering wheel, for example, when a destabilizing factors (roughness and rutting al.), It will go into resonance and vibration will be transferred to the entire motorcycle. There are already all thoughts about management and how to help it. Do not cling to the wheel - he "finds" its place thanks to the gyroscopic forces. Too tight control can make it worse, leading to a fall. "



Incidentally, the first classes in Motoshkola taught this simple rule: loose fit, how to take the wheel and why you need to rely on the gyroscopic forces.



Do not leave on public roads without having learned to slow down!

"Come guys skated 5-6 seasons. We offer them to perform a simple exercise - to slow down at some point - puts orange cone Dmitry Belsky. - So, all the time with this seemingly simple exercise, handled only one person. Imagine: people who do not know where to be able to stop the bike, use the road at tremendous speeds. Some do not know basic truths: that the rear brake - an auxiliary, and the front - the main. Rear helps align, center the bike smoothly and without jerks to download the plug braking. A common mistake - a sudden and panic braking only the front brake in a stressful situation. This can lead to a fall. What's happening? Jerk loaded plug that frightens and shakes his biker, motorcycle inertia pushes forward, the front wheel locks, and this count is already falling (because the bike is stable due to the gyroscopic forces that arise during rotation of the wheel). It turned out that the braking force exceeds the force that can withstand the tires, and it breaks - wheel locks, or as they say, is a skid. "



A huge number of passing collisions, according motoinstruktora, is precisely for this reason - riders can not find the right balance when using front and rear brakes.



Do not use sharply with the clutch and gazuyte at the start!

Several years ago, at the intersection of Prospect. Independence and the street. Kalinowski reared and fell bike. The injured passengers. "Children's mistake. It is often too sharp gas leads to a similar fall - are convinced of our interlocutors. - On the rear wheel is applied great effort, lifted the front of the motorcycle, and the front wheel no longer regard asphalt wheel dangles freely and no longer participates in the management. That is the case where the motorcycle controls you, not you to them. "



Not being able to, do not brake while turning!

On site training cadets talk about yet another typical for many motorcyclists error: "By turning the drivers start to slow down, but they do it clumsily. Due to the inclination of the motorcycle wheel contact patch and asphalt less in turn is reduced and the force needed to lock the wheel. As a result - even if not very strong pressure on the brake wheel locks are disabled gyroscopic forces, because there is no rotation. And because the bike is tilted, it means instant fall. What should I do? Slow down before turning and passing it the apex (closest point to the inner edge of the road), gradually adding the gas, thereby loading the rear wheel, which has longer contact patch due to the size and simultaneously increase the gyroscopic forces that subsequently align the motorcycle. In fact, you can brake in a turn, but it can be done only by professionals who skillfully dosed braking force. "



Do not look at the obstacle!

Why motorcyclists often knocked pedestrians? How can all come together in a relatively large road space two such small objects? In motoinstruktorov have answers to these questions. Everything is explained simply: the inexperienced rider with a sharp object is detected in front of panicked mechanically looking directly at the obstacle, and it is necessary to represent the path on which he was going to go around most obstacles.



Do not put your bike!

Intuitive action motorcycle driver when a collision is imminent, and he knows it - to put the bike. "This is a blunder! - Says Dmitry Belsky. - Heavy motorcycle in the fall glides over the asphalt faster than the driver, and the driver crashed into his bike and gets the same injury on his own stupidity. When an accident can not be avoided, it is better to brake before the end, using every centimeter to reduce speed to a minimum. Motorcycle brake effectively slows down rather than plastic sliding on the asphalt. In front of the collision Lift to fly over an obstacle. Sounds may be risky, but the chances of survival in these circumstances is much higher. "



Do not exceed to the "blind" corners!

"If you have already run the risk and bear the sportbikes, at least before the" blind "turn throttle back - call motoinstruktory. - After all, as is likely in the case of an accident at the intersection of Independence - Makaenka? The driver of VAZ, likely did not see the motorcyclist. I bet the guy on the Honda moved closer to the right edge of the roadway. And he had to go near the double solid line marking the angle of Inbound from the road was more and he could before you notice. Second tip - when approaching this intersection blink a couple of times-beam assistant, it will attract the attention of passers-by. That is, make yourself the most prominent. This whole issue of road strategy: think not only about the route, but also about clothes too. For example, I have several motorcycles. If I get on Harley Davidson, then wear leather vest and pants, is ceremonial dress. On sportbike you see me in the light green retroreflective vest and white helmet. "



Do not learn to ride slowly, do not drive fast!

At the end of the session Dmitry shows cadets bonus, warning that all of them will take the test, get the original name "du Soleil". "It's hanging body healthy will help with the practical test in the SAI - on the court when the" eight ". If you want to turn left, right and POST body effectively exercises. Home "trick" is that the exercise is carried out at a very slow speed. No need to go quickly to show mastery "- sums up the movement organizer Motohelp.



Of course, in one publication can not describe all the nuances of a motorcycle, to prevent all possible errors and tactical blunders. This should be dealt with by professionals. But the fact that there was a social project - already well. Motoinstruktory confident that can be learned to prevent a tragedy reasonable relation to the motorcycle.
