Riding Technique Level Chart

[BHeth]

I ran across this and think it's pretty cool. Might be handy when planning rides. The link also contains offroad levels.

LEVEL 1

You have at least one season of riding experience; your personal style is still developing. You are able to perform leans of up to 30 degrees, braking is usually concluded before the turn. You are able to perform the emergency full braking maneuovre and fast swerves. You are uncertain riding in the rain.


LEVEL 2

You have at least two seasons or 10,000 km of motorcycle riding experience. Loose, smooth riding style with sufficient reserves. Correct curve approaches, round lines. Assured sight lines, classic cornering style with both knees on the fuel tank, safe judgment regarding overtaking procedures. Your personal riding style has begun to develop.


LEVEL 3

You are able to perform leans of up to 40 degrees; defensive but rounded riding style in the rain. You have a command of various cornering styles (classic, pressing down from above, slightly hanging off the bike), the proper approach to curve combinations, effective braking, and steering and acceleration points. Hazards are recognized and resolved as soon as possible.


LEVEL 4

Your individual style permits nearly full use of the tyre traction, even in banked or off-camber corners, always with the necessary reserves. Uphill and downhill curves, including tight hairpins, are rounded quickly and smoothly. Your choice of riding lines is always assured, reserves are available if there’s mud on the road surface...


LEVEL 5

You have racing experience at the hobby-racer level, over 50,000 km of motorcycle experience. You have practically the full use of the tyre grip, even in the rain. Braking into the corners, short coasting phase, gentle weight shifts, early acceleration. Very quick riding style even in blind corner combinations.

Is there a level 0.5???

[t_jolt]

Shifu: [chuckles] Well, we'll never know unless we try, will we?
Po: Well, maybe we could start out with something more at, you know, my level.
Shifu: And what level is that?
Po: Uh... level zero?
Shifu: [chuckles] There is no level zero.
Po: Well, what about that?
[He indicates a small dummy]
Shifu: That? We use that for training children, and for propping the door open when it gets hot. But, if you insist...

I'm in be tween 3-4, except that I don't really have a lot of rain riding experience.
