I had Gary for the whole course. Very, very sound, and managed to get me over my abject terror of u-turns  |

The slow riding technique it teaches is actually very useful for making smooth progress in traffic. I use it a lot, especially with a bigger, heavier bike, just so I can keep it moving
You also look cool doing a feet up u-turn on abike with clipon bars all luggaged up and carrying a pillion. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Now you can learn the ADVANCED u turn
Hold Front brake lean bike to the side in the direction you wish to go use your thumb to give some throttle stick your leg out to pivot on and then slip the clutch
you will either spin the bike round perfect and look totally cool as you ride off from a load of wheel smoke........ or fall on your arse and look like a tit  ____________________ DL650 Vstrom 2004
