First…

The Demo has been moved from Exercise 17 to Exercise 13 First… The Demo has been moved from Exercise 17 to Exercise 13

The Demo has been moved from Exercise 17 to Exercise 13 Based on the data: Pass/Fail rates Field observations Dropout/Dismissal rates Student surveys Motorcycle crash data Incident reports Instructor surveys Emphasis on Instructor Feedback

Moving the Demo to Exercise 13 allows more focus on the beginning skills of SLRP, with a progression towards the more advanced skills associated with the Ready-Set-Go strategy We feel that…

Cornering With Confidence Rider’s Guide Unit 6 Cornering With Confidence Ride SMART – Ride MORE Safely Recommendation # 5 Acknowledge that running wide in curves is a common fatal crash situation. Commit to using a READY-SET-GO strategy for cornering, and in particular SLOWING before curves and PRESSING on the handgrip to cause the bike to lean / turn. Can I get a volunteer to read this please?

More on the Demo a little later For now we’ll look at the Exercises

Lets breakdown the elements of these 3 exercises. Compare: The 3 Objectives The 3 Rationales Then we’ll take a look at how these 3 exercises are conducted and coached

To the Range Cards and Rationales! It’s Time to Chunk… Objectives Demo 5 minutes

Report your findings about the Table 1 Report your findings about the Objective in Exercise 9 Main Point – Handgrip Pressure

Report your findings about the Table 2 Report your findings about the Objective in Exercise 13 Main Point – Slow, Look, Roll and Press

Report your findings about the Table 3 Report your findings about the Main Point – Ready-Set-Go Objective in Exercise 17

Let’s Compare To ride through different curves, Exercise 9 - Objective: To ride through different curves, using handgrip pressure to maintain path of travel. Exercise 13 - Objective: To ride smoothly through curves with different radii, practicing the Slow, Look, Roll and Press sequence of cornering Compare 2 at a time

How are they different? Pause … Let the class decide

Slow, Look, Roll and Press How are they different? Exercise 9 - Objective: Handgrip Pressure Exercise 13 - Objective: Slow, Look, Roll and Press Synopsis. Minimum words, main point

Let’s look at all 3 Exercises together Exercise 9 - Objective: To ride through different curves, using handgrip pressure to maintain path of travel. Exercise 13 - Objective: To ride smoothly through curves with different radii, practicing the Slow, Look, Roll and Press sequence of cornering Add the 3rd exercise Exercise 17 - Objective: To ride through faster corners, demonstrating proper braking, throttle application, and the Ready-Set-Go sequence of cornering

How is Exercise 17 different? Exercise 9 - Objective: Handgrip Pressure Exercise 13 - Objective: Ride Smoothly … Slow, Look, Roll and Press Recap 9 and 13, then 17

How is Exercise 17 different? Exercise 9 - Objective: Handgrip Pressure Exercise 13 - Objective: Ride Smoothly … Slow, Look, Roll and Press Just the main points Exercise 17 - Objective: Ride … faster corners … proper braking, throttle application … Ready-Set-Go

Ready-Set-Go

Ready = Slow to appropriate entry speed What is Ready-Set-Go? From the Rationale: Ready = Slow to appropriate entry speed Set = Look through and select path Go = Roll and Press to negotiate the curves Read, then click to next slide

Ready = Slow to appropriate entry speed What is Ready-Set-Go? From the Rationale: Ready = Slow to appropriate entry speed Set = Look through and select path Go = Roll and Press to negotiate the curves Mention similarity between SLRP and Ready-Set-Go

So how is Ready-Set-Go different from SLRP? Not a question for discussion. Read and move to next slide.

SLRP is the four basic steps in turning a mc So how is Ready-Set-Go different from SLRP? SLRP is the four basic steps in turning a mc Ready-Set-Go is an effective strategy for successful cornering. According to the Riders Guide (From the Riders Guide)

Ready-Set-Go combines the 4 basic steps of SLRP with SIPDE. So how is Ready-Set-Go different from SLRP? Ready-Set-Go combines the 4 basic steps of SLRP with SIPDE. From Unit 6 in the Riders Guide: SIPDE is critical for safe cornering. Aggressive scanning – looking as far as possible through the curve – helps you assess how tight the curve is and how much you need to slow to be able to corner safely. Emphasis here is how SIPDE combines with SLRP

From the Riders Guide Ready - S I P D E S L R P Scan ahead to gather as much information about a curve before you get there. Evaluate the tightness of the curve, slope of the road, surface conditions, and whether or not you can see all the way through to the exit of the curve. As you approach, apply both brakes to slow (and downshift, if appropriate) to an entry speed that allows you to smoothly apply the throttle throughout the curve. If you cannot determine the tightness of the curve or see the exit before you enter, reduce your entry speed more, and be prepared for the curve to tighten. Do not read entire slide. Graphical, to show SIPDE elements

From the Riders Guide Set - S I P D E S L R P Turn your head and set your planned path of travel. Looking through the curve provides information such as how sharp the curve is, where the exit is, the slope (if any) and any surface hazards. This is all important information for safe cornering. Your mind will calculate the required lean angle, speed, and lane position, but ONLY if you feed it good information. Do not read entire slide. Graphical, to show SIPDE elements

From the Riders Guide Go - S I P D E S L R P Begin rolling on the throttle smoothly and precisely before you lean into the curve. A steady throttle application maintained throughout the curve will help your cornering be smooth and comfortable … It is not necessary to accelerate through your curves – a steady throttle is okay. Adjust handgrip pressure to maintain your path. Less pressure, less lean. More pressure, more lean Do not read entire slide. Graphical, to show SIPDE elements

Ready-Set-Go Combines the 4 basic steps of SLRP with SIPDE.

Staging Show this slide during demo activity

R S T #5 Has been eliminated Proper coaching of Exercise 17 is pivotal to student’s future cornering success

To the Rationales! Let’s look at what we chunked earlier Exercises 9, 13 and 17 - Rationales Re-focus on the flip charts from the earlier chunking activity

Report your findings about the Table 4 Report your findings about the Rationale in Exercise 9 Have the group read back their findings

Extension of X.8 – Press to Initiate Lean Rationale - Exercise 9 Extension of X.8 – Press to Initiate Lean Recap their findings and make sure they find what’s on the slide

Extension of X.8 – Press to Initiate Lean Rationale - Exercise 9 Extension of X.8 – Press to Initiate Lean Looking through the curve Adjusting Handgrip Pressure to maintain path Not about speed Steady throttle, vary press Recap their findings and make sure they find what’s on the slide

Report your findings about the Table 5 Report your findings about the Rationale in Exercise 13 Have the group read back their findings

Expands on X.9 – Adds slowing and throttle roll Rationale - Exercise 13 Practice and Improve SLRP Expands on X.9 – Adds slowing and throttle roll Recap their findings and make sure they find what’s on the slide

Expands on X.9 – Adds slowing and throttle roll Rationale - Exercise 13 Practice and Improve SLRP Expands on X.9 – Adds slowing and throttle roll Slowing prior to curves (may be throttle roll off only, but ideally both brakes) Looking through curves Maintaining steady or slightly increasing throttle roll through curves Adjusting handgrip pressure to maintain path of travel Recap their findings and make sure they find what’s on the slide

Report your findings about the Table 6 Report your findings about the Rationale in Exercise 17 Have the group read back their findings

Rationale - Exercise 17 Expands on X.9 and X.13 Recap their findings and make sure they find what’s on the slide

Rationale - Exercise 17 Expands on X.9 and X.13 Allow riders to transition to and practice the “Ready‐Set‐Go” cornering strategy. Higher approach speeds allows better opportunity to judge proper braking prior to curve Effective braking to a suitable entry speed Effective path entry selection at beginning of curves Head turns Staying within the path of travel Smooth throttle Recap their findings and make sure they find what’s on the slide

Rationales - Exercise 9, 13 and 17 The Same or Different? Set up slide for the next slide

Rationales Ex.9 – Slow and steady Not about speed All about Handgrip Pressure Ex. 13 – Slow, Look, Roll and Press Adjust speed and Press to maintain path Ex. 17 – Ready-Set-Go Combine SIPDE with SLRP to collect data and make critical judgments to skillfully corner with confidence Quick recap of similarities and differences

Conducting and Coaching How are these 3 exercises the same? Class discussion

Conducting and Coaching How are these 3 exercises different? Class discussion

Conducting and Coaching Exercise 9 What should we watch and coach for? The following slides are time permitting

Conducting and Coaching Exercise 9 Watch and Coach for: Press on handgrip (adjust pressure as needed) Head and eyes up, looking through turn Smooth, constant throttle No braking / deceleration during turn Steady speed, steady press Most coaching takes place in staging Time permitting

Conducting and Coaching Exercise 13 What should we watch and coach for? Time permitting

Conducting and Coaching Exercise 13 Watch and Coach for: Higher speeds are not required, but are likely. Higher speeds will allow students to SLOW (SLRP) Students should accelerate slightly in the straight Just enough to show the use of both brakes prior to the curve. Emphasis is on the 4 parts of SLRP Steady or slight roll on should start at entry cones Coach SLRP while students are waiting in staging area Time permitting

Conducting and Coaching Exercise 17 What should we watch and coach for? Time permitting

Conducting and Coaching Exercise 17 Watch and Coach for: Transition from basic SLRP to Ready-Set-Go strategy Brisk acceleration on straights Higher speeds are expected (and should be coached after speed of action is attained) Braking done before the curve (give Slow signal if needed) Head / eye turn for directional control Time permitting

Conducting and Coaching Exercise 17 Watch and Coach for: Smooth throttle throughout curve Sufficient press to stay within the path of travel First session in the path is for speed adjustment, judgment and timing of slow Second session in the path should provide some polish on cornering and smooth transitions Time permitting
