if you get off a sportsbike onto a 500 a u-turn is as easy as taking a whizz

Fair nuff I guess its just the CG Razz

And flip, to pass the CBT you need to do a u-turn on real roads so neh-neh Razz

=/ Now... get a job for the few weeks before I go to uni, or enjoy myself and get into debt using my loan for a bike... hmm... Laughing

@ ayfy - It wasnt that I was being cocky, its just that the U-turn had been built up to be a terrible thing (in my mind) and I found it very easy, so was just wondering why.

why the feck am i still up?

I did my CBT last month and I wasn't asked to do a U-turn on the public highway. Gotta say, riding a bigger bike is a whole different ball game when compared to riding a 125.

After all this talk i hear of U-Turns, i have been alittle worried as to just how hard they were. I have been riding for 3 years, and am doing my test as soon as i get it booked lol. having never done a U-Turn, I headed to the industrial estate to try out a few, and i cant see what problem people have with them. As long as your used to the bike, i cant see any problems. Laughing

They took us out to an some public roads and after a ride about of 45mins or so, we had to do emergency stops and U-turns, to a standard where we didnt put our foot down. Thinking

I guess they just wanted to be thorough... so neh Razz
