Serious Qns - Anybody had a Class 3/3A license, and then still go take Class 2B

[Ethan_]

Downgrade for? I have class 3 but also no car to drive take class 2b so can ride when overseas like phuket/bali or in sg see any secondhand bike might wanna buy.

Spoiler

As in first learninf is difficult and after which when upgrade to 2A or 2 will be easier?

My class 3 passed at 2nd TP

Then further downgrade lor. No car bike also good. Really cannot then take pmd or bicycle.

As for go overseas drive or worse ride. Think best is don't, especially for inexperience driver or biker. Worse those who don't even have much driving experience or riding experience local, then go overseas suddenly want to become king of the road. More likely get into trouble.

And many locals tend are rigid in thinking when come to the road. Cause they pampered and condtioned by local strict rules and regulations to belief that everyone should follow the rules. Thus tend expect the same when go overseas.

But then overseas is more messy, anything goes as long as no one looking. This is good for those experienced one who know how to be flexible about it. But maybe not so for those inexperience one. Cause they walk also not steady liao when local, go overseas expect to run. They more likely to get into trouble.

Not say it will be, but think have heard quite some stories about people who go overseas get into traffic accident or near accident. Especially those more chaotic places where rules don't really apply. Then also think there are no shortage of news about locals who went overseas get into serious traffic accident. Those newbies of sort to the overseas experience.

So, not say cannot, but think have to be really careful when go overseas drive or ride. Don't take it for granted cause there rules not so strict, thus let the guard down. That is when they most likely to make mistakes and wrong judgement. Cause not familiar with the local unwritten rules, do and don't there.

Search class 2b package.

 

[rtfm38]

Me also lor, take 2B for fun plus never know when it might come in handy like coming in first on atv snow race during company retreat .

But after that never ride in singapore cuz find the risks too high, really is not a matter of if but when you will kena accident. And singapore also too hot, crazy to wear protective gear, one bad fall and can grind your flesh to the bone.

 

[hellhole]

got many shop got learners packages... can be less then 200 dollars... for padding helmet and gloves... if you dun mind personal hygiene... then u can use the helmet and padding from the school...but u need to buy gloves..
the cheapest glove you can get is those white ones that the durian stall use

if you have class 3... esp if its manual class3. its easier in a way.. as you know what biting point is.. and some 'road sense' ... class 2b is the most difficult.. as its 1st time... but like i said.. you have class3... you will progress faster... just dont give up.

Helmet get basic open face type with PSB sticker, important to get one that fits your head size. Too small and the discomfort can be very severe, too loose it will wobble around your head as you turn your head for safety checks. Just get the cheap cheap basic SMX helmet for learning will do.

Gloves get something basic also can, but recommended to spend little bit more with better protection (leather gloves, knuckle protection). As when you fall during practice, you will instinctively put your hands out to catch the fall.

Elbow & knee guards are very important as well. I got a set of used ones to give away for free, PM me if you are keen.

Wow nice. $62 full set But how to trust if the helmet is approved or not?
I actually have knee and elbow pads (bought to learn skateboard but never did it, lol. The pads still lying around maybe can also use for motorcycle learning?).

Saw this cheap helmet claiming to be LTA approved but read review its abit filmsy quality.

U mean u already went and got first on atv snow or preparing for one day might have this need? The full body protection gear must buy or just personal preference for safety?

Durian stalls white fabric ones can also ah?

Ya agar i know the feel of biting point, but im still not v good at shifting gear down fast. Like I don't understand the logic of from gear 4 slowly goes down to gear 2 or 1 (o forgot) then brake to complete stop. Just followed my instructor instructions only

And i also worried motorcycle gear shift might not be easy as its the pedal on the left leg shift up n down.

This is Honda super cub is it? Nice classic look

Recommended by another edmwer, SMX helmet and full set. Is this set good enough?

2B to 2A difficult. 2A to 2 quite easy.

Yes even in 1998 I find 2b hardest compare to class 3. Then 2a and 2 one time pass...

For learning ok... Since at very low speed... Don't use the public one... After rain you will see black ink coming out of the helmet.... That's the joke during my time... So got a helmet to learn..

 

[hachi]

Don’t take class 2…
Because it is really dangerous

Yes the only limitation is your right hand... 0-299 kph in 15 sec is doable now with superbike breaking 200bhp per 1000cc.

shifting down gear is engine break... if you are in 4th gear... u get down to 3rd gear.. you will feel the engine break... its more useful when you get from 3rd to 2nd gear for any turn.

from 4th to 3rd to 2nd to 1st... its a good habit... that they want you to develop... some people just tap tap tap many time till reach 1st... they want you to tap to 3rd.. then to 2nd then 1st. just make that obvious.. and you will be okay...

i think by what you describe... you already know how to ride a motorcycle!!! you can go illegally rent one in bali... hahaha.. joking.. please dont..

the rest of the stuff is about safety and part of the lesson plan... so go through it... ask the instructor what you did wrong to fail... etc...

only advice i can tell you is... in the circuit... its all about low speed control... there is no need for you to go pass 30km/h anywhere in the circuit unless for the ebrake. learn to control the bike at low speed... so you will have more time to do all the blind spot check, road check.. etc..

Now easy they bought many new bikes

No need but need to take rtt

Sorry. Can you clarify my question. I already have a class 3 driving license for decade. If I want a Class 2B to ride a bike, I only need to pass RTT which stands for Riding Theory Test? So, don't need any practical test? And if no practical test is needed, I do not need to attend any riding theory class at all?

riding theory class is needed so that you can take the RTT.
you can take riding practical lesson and riding theory and RTT concurrently...

BUT.. you must clear all the theory lesson before you can do the lesson on the road.
