HOV Lesson 22 March 09 Tuas


As we continue our long march to save more skins and lives of fellow motorcyclists in Singapore, this is the first Hazard Oriented Vision (HOV) Motorcycling Safety Workshop in 2009.

This time, instead of holding at the usual make-shift MacDonald's, we got an upgrade.
Fellow rider offered us a cool and posh training facility at Tuas, Singapore.

















First part of HOV workshop is theory, held in training facility in Tuas.


















Here's Evelin, a lady holder of a Class2A license who just got her very own Honda Super4.


















An interactive informal and friendly session by bikers for bikers as we swap tales of our falls and our lessons learnt.


As I was giving the presentation, our fellow instructors: PPlater, The Beast; along with assistants like S4Dreamer, BornFree, TwoWheeler and Contrarian are busy in the rear of the classroom preparing the radio equipment needed for our ride.

We have enough walkie talkie sets to run a sizable bookie business.


















Instructor PPlater telling Two-Wheeler, "No, no, no. Cannot use radio channel 1. This one is used
by my bookie. Use channel 2." Instructor The Beast looks on and laughs.

















After the talk, it's time to do the walk.
Our group left our Tuas training room and head out to West Coast MacDonald for our HOV practical ride.
































































Who's this guy with the big head?
Me watching as we reached regroup at West Coast MacDonald.


















"Whatever you do, don't crash. If you do, don't say you know me."
Me giving final brief before we start our practical HOV ride.


Thanks to:
- PPlater who is the key organizer, and also instructor.
- The Beast, instructor, for being enthusiastic and willing to reach out.
- S4Dreamer, for working on our group website www.rider.sg. And for getting so many radio sets for us.
- Assistant instructors: Two-Wheeler, BornFree and Contrarian for helping out.
- Ms Huppy, who have provided lots of back ground logistic support and moral support to me.
