    U Turn and win stuff

    It's an ACC competition. I know, I know, blah blah blah.

    But you have to be in to win.

    jeeeeeeeeesus facebook is gay shit. I suppose there's a great circle jerk happening at acc right now "hey look we're hip, we're cool, we're with the times, community outreach and engagement!"

    and I can almost guarantee the week will not come, with "sikk wheelies" or "evade police". but that's the shit everyone SHOULD be filling the internet with. instead there's going to be a bunch of retards filming this faggotry and wasting someone else's paid for server space, bandwidth, etc.

    bonus points for tagging gymkhana and drift vids.

    Looks like a challenge that many a KB keyboard warrior may not want to partake in...after all you'd at least need an actual motorcycle.

    Nothing wrong with this approach from ACC in my view, let's see how many of my fellow riders I can talk into partaking.

    It's the 2 x your bike length that makes it a challenge.

    The Police standard u-turn requirement is 5.5 metres. My R1200RT is 2.2 metres long. I snapped out a u-turn in 4.4 metres (2 × length) yesterday, it wasn't easy.

    I'll be going it a go on my moped too. Unlike some, I'm not scared of a challenge.

    It's a half circle. You'll be fine.

    Purely for entertainment value the U'y should be in both directions...

    I did in in the conventional U-turn direction.

    Then I did it in the other direction and it was easier.

    Everyone has a favourite direction. Mine is to the left as it frees up the throttle.

    Crash bars make you less cautious. Which means you might learn faster from your mistakes.
