Omg what is this position stuff?? I don't get the 1-2-3 stuff.

[learn2rideVIDEOS]

@VCRAGE please have a look at the 'Road Positioning' video- it gives a very basic introduction for learner motorcyclists.

If the guy learning had a heavier bike, i feel he wouldnt weave about so much. I dont know if i'm wording this right to be honest... A bigger bike powerwise too, those little buggers and their tiny wheels are pathetic when it comes to staying on course. I find it much easier to ride around on my sports then those little buggers. Good video though with some good examples.

good comment mate thanks

when i did my B!KESAFE years ago the bike officer told me that my bike was wavering slightly when i was doing my lifesavers (and i was on a 1000cc at the time) so it can happen to us all!

the trick is to keep your lifesavers for the blind spots only, just to the side of the bike, instead of a 180 degree rearward look.

and as for the junctions etc, balanced use of the clutch, throttle and rear brake usually prevents the bike running wide (swan necking)

ride safe mate

[hughes111]

I totally agree, i've actually found if i turn my head to far when a something is right in my blind spot, my bike will weave slightly, i tend to always look around though rather then using the mirrors (of course i use them though) as i find the mirrors alone are about as much use on a bike as a dead sniffer dog would be to customs at an airport haha. I often tell my friends to life saver more. When i first got a bike a couple of years ago, i was amazed at how much you can't see with the mirrors.

very true and with all the lifesavers that must be performed for the standard test, it is easy to get lots of faults in one area (such as steering or balance) if the bike wanders off course slightly when performing lifesavers so they must be performed correctly

remember that 4 minor faults in one area will equal a serious fault on your bike test!

Could you make a video of how to go around roundabouts and which lane to get into and position,: much aprreciated! thanks!

[G00g284]

I ALWAYS eyeball cagers at a junction making sure they can see me eyes and ill swerve out a tiny bit closer to the lines in the road just incase they didnt

Excellent Vid L2r - Goodstuff!

I passed my mod-2 last Nov, I got a single fault for steering & I have been racking my brains ever since trying to work out why.

This vid makes it so clear; I bet my bum I either swan-necked a tight turn, or wobbled when trying to show how far I could shoulder-check (probably trying to show off how "safe" I was :p)

I'd been riding on L's for 2yrs prior to the test & 9 months since (so still a noob), but even so I'm going to go watch the rest of your vids now mate.

Informative

@learn2rideVIDEOS I'm not a learner ^^ but I passed my modules and cbt without ever hearing about this way of positioning stuff. Then again, I never had training for my modules!

I'm trying to find videos for my girlfriend to help her understand as she is going to try going for a A2 licence. Good videos tho! Informative and directive.

@hughes111 agreed, my sv650 is way more stable at just about any speed than the CG125 I learned on, only place the CG was better was its turning circle

I wish Americans had more respect for driving, In Germany driving is an

art-form. We have no clue what KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS! means and no one knows how to merge onto the highway. we drive like idiots

[learn2rideVIDEOS]

@jaspsoftware Good point. In cases such as approaching roundabouts etc, it is safer to be in position 2 dominating your road space to negate the chance of a vehicle passing on either the right or left: but in that particular clip emerging from that particular junction, prudence (because of the size of the junction) & standard test requirements dictate that the rider use position 1: ask yourself, "What could happen if there was a cyclist emerging on your left & you were in position 2 there?"
