Shukur Alhamdullilah, Thank to Allah for once again giving me the opportunity to conduct the HORE session last weekend at HDKL PJ. I'm glad that for this first session in 2014, i got the chance of meeting and knowing Ravi, Jocelyn, Nora, Abang Zul, Han, Fauzi, Nat, Thomas, Andrew, Shiham for the first time as they are among the participants for the course....
It was quite a good turn up and a great session we had despite the hot weather especially in the afternoon during the riding skill session. Some were good at handling their bikes especially for the Sportsters owners while some may have to practice more and ride more from time to time to improve their skill.
The issue with new riders on holding much to their clutch are normal issue and hope that they could move on to better riding habits in future. Abang Zul, Ravi, Nora and Andrew had those problem the most during the riding skill session perhaps they are struggling in ensuring their bike didn't stall in the middle of exercise. Jocelyn was quite nervous during the first day perhaps too much pressure upon looking at the training field and people around. It's okay Jocelyn, we will do more session this week moving forward.
And for the first time this year, i had the chance to test the Softail Breakout 2014. it was a sexy bike and look cool to ride, got some similarity to v-rod feelin but i've to agree with Ravi that the handlebar was quite long and straight which not easy to handle especially during taking close turn or slow corners....
On second day session which was riding in group exercise, we had experienced few more findings.... Nat was quite hesitate during taking corners, perhaps one way to help her is to go for more rides especially on the zig zac road condition to build her confidence and later enjoy more character of her bike... Nora who used to ride within 80km/h, managed to ride till 110km/h during the session... the riding pace within the group improved especially during our way back to the dealership from Cyberjaya....
Well, basically those are some observations i had for the past 2 days during the session. i hope that most of the participants could benefit and enjoy the session as much as i did. i wish that we will be given more chances to ride again together in future. as for now, i'm preparing and focusing myself for this coming weekend Road Captain Development Program with the Lady Bikers Malaysia in Port Dickson.... see u guys soon...! Ride SAFE!!

Thanks Mr. Roi.
It was indeed very insightful specially for new rider like me. I was of course very disappointed that i couldnt join the group for the training. i do admit that i always have the fear in starting and stopping my bike. My husband sayang me soooo much he normally starts and heat up the bike for me everytime i start my riding practice :))
Nevertheless, i was thankful to God that He showed me i am not ready for the real riding outside.
Thanks for the tip which i will be practicing today.
And hope to be able to start my training with you asap!
Take care and God Bless!
Jocelyn
