When not riding they write, play, make videos and when they can afford it - prefer to be in Thailand. However they currently live with an Owl and a Pussycat by the Sea. www.on-the-wind.comMotorcycle Skills Asiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10853020121638720411noreply@blogger.comBlogger274125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124178783734878654.post-24855604564596712622020-03-22T03:56:00.001-07:002020-03-22T03:56:46.155-07:00ZRX1100 Front Brakes - Servicing 6 pot Tokico calipers<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3mqisXeJURw?clip=&clipt=EAAYAA%3D%3D" width="480"></iframe>Motorcycle Skills Asiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10853020121638720411noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124178783734878654.post-44420176896403453372020-03-08T12:37:00.001-07:002020-03-08T12:37:00.460-07:00Mice Ride<div class="mentions-texteditor__content" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: var(--black-90,rgba(0,0,0,0.9)); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Sorry I cannot share the typical crash and die click bate, </div><div class="mentions-texteditor__content" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: var(--black-90,rgba(0,0,0,0.9)); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">this is just some more riding footage of me not having accidents. </div><div class="mentions-texteditor__content" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: var(--black-90,rgba(0,0,0,0.9)); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Along with a little footage of my Barn Owl. </div><div class="mentions-texteditor__content" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: var(--black-90,rgba(0,0,0,0.9)); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I am interested in how many "Near misses" people count here. </div><div class="mentions-texteditor__content" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: var(--black-90,rgba(0,0,0,0.9)); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I left one in where I was surprised when a car took a gap on a roundabout,</div><div class="mentions-texteditor__content" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: var(--black-90,rgba(0,0,0,0.9)); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">How many can you count?

Well here it is. Note that the only steering effect is the transfer of weight. The self stability os maintained by the caster effect of the front wheel and forward momentum. The recording was done on the first attempt as we tried out the 4th prototype. No balancing skills, just physics. </div><div class="mentions-texteditor__content" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /></div><div class="mentions-texteditor__content" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="mentions-texteditor__hashtag" data-id="urn:li:hashtag:motorcycle" dir="ltr" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">#motorcycle</span> <span class="mentions-texteditor__hashtag" data-id="urn:li:hashtag:motorcycles" dir="ltr" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">#motorcycles</span> <span class="mentions-texteditor__hashtag" data-id="urn:li:hashtag:Physics" dir="ltr" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">#Physics</span> <span class="mentions-texteditor__hashtag" data-id="urn:li:hashtag:Trail" dir="ltr" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">#Trail</span> <span class="mentions-texteditor__hashtag" data-id="urn:li:hashtag:Lego" dir="ltr" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">#Lego</span> <span class="mentions-texteditor__hashtag" data-id="urn:li:hashtag:Technics" dir="ltr" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">#Technics</span></div><br /><br />

Marcus is over from Thailand, we are looking at comparisons between riding in Thailand and in the UK with a view to sharing better post test training advice to riders in Thailand and Asia.

The countries with lower road fatalities tend to focus more training on the real world interactive skills which in turn helps road users to predict and avoid the confrontations. Only this can also draw road users into a false sense of security. I find riding in Thailand easier in some respects than riding in England, as I know other road users do not play by the rules in Thailand, so I expect right of way errors to be more common. While in the UK, we expect people will play by the rules, so more likely to be caught out when someone makes a mistake. </div><div class="mentions-texteditor__content" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255);
