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

9. 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

10. 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…

11. 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?

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

13. Lets breakdown the elements of these 3 exercises.

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

25. Ready-Set-Go

26. 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

27. 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

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

29. 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)

30. 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

31. 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

32. 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

33. 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

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

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

57. 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

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

59. 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

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

61. 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

62. 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
