|  Look Where You Want The Bike To Go
This seems to be the one tip I've read most on these boards. I got my Shadow 750 two weeks ago and have been practicing around the neighborhood. It's a private community so there's virtually no traffic. Turns were a total b*tch even at 10-15 MPH So Saturday I rode a few blocks up to the local high school and practiced for about two hours going up and down the rows turning left and right and U-turns. After about 30 minutes the words: Look Where You Want The Bike To Go! came into my head and BAMM...!!! It was all over.... I nailed it! It was amazing! I had watched Captain Crash's video on U-Turns and remembered how much he turned his head when he was making the U-turns so I did the same thing. The U's were not as easy to master and I'm not even close to good at them yet but definitely much better... Thanks to everyone for the great advice. I take the MSF course this weekend and I'm sure they'll "mention" that little nugget during the course.... |
