Unfortunately I could not make it- we are packing to move house this weekend.

Did you try leaning out and looking over your shoulder? It definitely helped my Uturns..

It worked well for me it seemed quite natural to sorta slide my butt left thanks for the tips

Hey everyone, I for one am going to practice what I learnt this week because this is when my bike gets the better of me - slow turns. And, Richard, I will keep my hand off the brake. I just want to say THANKS to everyone from KB for all the support and encouragement you have all shown me. It has helped me heaps. Every week I go away with more information to think about and put into action.

Good on you Beth

Glad to hear it! but it is important to lean your torso outwards and away from the centre line of the bike too - makes for much smaller turning circles.

yes thanks Matthew.

I kinda knew the theory about push starting the bike, but I had never tried it (on my current one anyway). It was a useful excercise, because as you say, each bike is different, and it helps to know what kind of effort is required to push start it and which gear.

Now I know that for my bike, I will not even bother trying to push start it at low speeds, and that 2nd gear locks up the back wheel because there's too much compression. This is something that I would not otherwise have even experimented with. These NASS day are great.

Dropped on in on the way back home last night from a sortie out south......... great to see Dan taking the reins again with Richard and a excellent turnout!! Seems to be a few familiar faces from times past and a small number of newbies.

Come on guys 'n gals! This is a great opportunity for those with their own bike and fresh licence to explore and learn in a safe environment.
The best thing is its FREE.
These mentors give up their Weds night (they could be watching Coronation Street and curling their hair instead) to give advice and support to people who are interested in learning all things Motorcycle.

Make the effort, you wont regret it!
