Good luck
When doing the U-turn, I'd keep your feet on the pegs, thats what I was taught, and don't touch any kerbs with your bike! |

I was told that a "dab and roll" of the foot on the floor while doing the u-turn would only get you a minor, as long as you keep the bike moving. So I would have thought you'd get a minor at worst for hovering.

Not sure, but it could be a fail. Touching the kerb during manoeuvres in a car was a fail when i took the test, so im guessing its a fail in the bike test. Just a guess tho.

Bummer dood. I failed first time too.
I practiced my u-turn over and over on an industrial estate at night. Decided i wouldn't stop until i could do it perfectly 3 times in row. Took a while and almost overheated my NSR, but i did it right on my test!

Yup, you'll fly through the second time round. Just try to make sure that's flying through the test, and not through the window of your local Sainsburys!  ____________________ Current: Yamaha Diversion XJ900

anyone know if you can stand up on the pegs to do the U turn? on my (very) top heavy cx if i'm standing up I can control it beautifully, in and out of stuff where I practice without wobbling, go as slow as I like without having to put my foot down. I can do it fine sitting down aswell but it's definatelly much easier standing. ____________________ -=[Sam/b]=- cx500's the only way to travel, we do it in style just like jimmy saville
