What is it ?
The System of Motorcycle
Control is a way of planning your riding that is methodical, safe and
releases the potential of the motorcycle. The five
phases of the System of Motorcycle Control are:
Information
By constantly Taking,
Using and Giving information you become in tune with your
changing surroundings, and therefore combined with the rest of the system
you are able to use the rest of the system to make good decisions in good
time.
Positioning
Are you in best place to see
be seen and use what you can see? Changing where you ride on the road can
add valuable seconds to your decision making time and the distance you can
see to stop in. Correct positioning based on the changing information around
you gives you more information; more information gives you more options. Do
you know where you ride and why?
Speed
Good information and
positioning will minimise surprises and allow you to make the best progress
in the conditions. Anybody can ride fast in a straight line. The system will
teach you to carry your correct speed through bends. In traffic, it will
allow you to use planned speed to greater effect for safer smoother
overtaking.
Gear
Understanding where
you are on the road what is ahead and planning your ride will lead you to be
in the right gear for the current and oncoming circumstances in good time,
providing options. The system will stop you, fumbling for the right gear,
which could contribute to a missed overtake, going into a corner badly and
improving your braking distance, more information gives more time, allows
you to plan your riding and be in control of your machine
Acceleration
The modern motorcycle has many benefits over many other vehicles, more
flexible, better visibility, quicker to accelerate etc. Using the above
components of the system will enable you to enjoy these benefits. The system
teaches you when to use these advantages to best effect and when to cool it
in certain situations.
This is one time when you
really can't beat the system! Proved over hundreds of thousands of miles,
this is one item of motorcycle kit that can really save your life.
Motorcycling is a fantastic way to travel, to meet people, to get a buzz and
to have fun on today's ever more crowded and regulated road's.
