One of These Things

1. One of These Things Is Not Like the Other Cornering and MORE Cornering and MORE See How Many You Can Find

2. Welcome 2019 Instructor Refresher Workshop Cornering and MORERange Exercises 9, 13 and 17

3. Your Hosts today:Lesly SmithKen Farabaugh

4. In this Session we will discuss Range Exercises 9, 13 and 17 How are they similar? How are they different?

5. Key points of interest

6. Key points of interest Demo Objectives Rationales Conducting and Coaching

7. First…

8. 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

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

11. 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.

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

13. 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

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

15. Range Cards: Table 1 - Objective 9 Table 2 - Objective 13 Table 3 - Objective 17 Rationales: Table 4 - Rationale 9 Table 5 - Rationale 13 Table 6 - Rationale 17 Table 7 - Demo Mark your findings on the flip charts

16. Table 1 Report your findings about the Objective in Exercise 9

17. Table 2 Report your findings about the Objective in Exercise 13

18. Table 3 Report your findings about the Objective in Exercise 17

19. Let’s Compare 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

20. How are they different?

21. How are they different? Exercise 9 - Objective: Handgrip Pressure Exercise 13 - Objective: Slow, Look, Roll and Press

22. 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 Exercise 17 - Objective: To ride through faster corners, demonstrating proper braking, throttle application, and the Ready-Set-Go sequence of cornering

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

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

25. Ready-Set-Go

26. 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

27. 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

28. So how is Ready-Set-Go different from SLRP?

29. 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. (From the Riders Guide)

30. 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.

31. From the Riders Guide Ready - S I P D E S L R P Scanaheadto gather as much information about a curve before you get there. Evaluatethe 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.

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. Lookingthrough the curve provides information such as how sharp the curve is, where theexitis, the slope(if any) and any surface hazards. This is all important informationfor safe cornering. Your mind will calculatethe required leanangle, speed, and lane position, but ONLY if you feed it good information.

33. From the Riders Guide Go - S I P D E S L R P Beginrolling on thethrottle smoothly and precisely before you lean into the curve. A steady throttle applicationmaintained 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

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

35. Next up: The Demo Table 7 Report your findings on the Demo

36. Moving the Demo requires some changes New Range Card Stickers Exercise 13 DEMO (2 laps left) Show some acceleration on the straights only enough to allow smooth slowing with both brakes before entry. A lot of speed is not needed. Show 4 distinct parts of SLRP This sticker for your cards is in your folder, to be applied to X.13

37. Moving the Demo requires some changes New Range Card Stickers Exercise 17 NO DEMO Coach Ready-Set-Go Strategy (Combines SLRP and SIPDE in real time) This sticker for your cards is in your folder, to be applied to X.17

38. Activity! Let’s run the Demo and see what it should look like

39. Staging

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

41. To the Rationales! Let’s look at what we chunked earlier Exercises 9, 13 and 17 - Rationales

42. Table 4 Report your findings about the Rationale in Exercise 9

43. Rationale - Exercise 9 Extension of X.8 – Press to Initiate Lean

44. 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

45. Table 5 Report your findings about the Rationale in Exercise 13

46. Rationale - Exercise 13 Practice and Improve SLRP Expands on X.9 – Adds slowing and throttle roll

47. 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

48. Table 6 Report your findings about the Rationale in Exercise 17

49. Rationale - Exercise 17 Expands on X.9 and X.13

50. 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
