Hello all !!
Recently on a CBT currently doing loads of MOD1 practice .. which is doing my nut in.

any advice would be great ..

Riding a Lexmoto XTRS (XTRaSlow) 125, Training on the good old 600 Bandit..

Looking at the Triumph triples, ST1100, Tiger900 etc etc also thought about the Vstrom650/1000 for the proper bike post test pass later this year.

Happy riding all !!

Hello. Might be useful if you could say what in particular is doing your head in about it, or what aspects you feel you need advice on.

Hello, thanks for the response!
Quite simply the figure of 8, seem to be all over the place at the mo ..
For example:
keeping my head looking in the right area, making the turns smart .. etc etc .. Going to get some practice on my 125 in a car park somewhere later today !

It's a case of keeping on doing it. Slow speed stuff is all linked, so once you've got your "eye in" on some of it you'll find the rest will fall into place.

How's your other slow speed stuff? E.g. riding in a straight line at walking pace, U-turns?

Yeah find a car park and practice, practice, practice. Grip the tank with your knees, relax the grip on the bars, head up, look where you want to go, drag the back brake a bit and give it a bit of gas with the clutch slipping a bit (which I'm sure they went over during your CBT).

It'll come Thumbs Up

U turns are good, slow speed stuff is fine.. Practice, practice, practice is what the instructor is telling ..

Hope it comes before the summer ends Wink

Lots of places to ride !
