Got back on the bike after recovering from a broken leg all last year, I knew something was missing, seemed to have lost my Motorcycling MOJO!
I stumbled upon a link for RIDE LIKE A PRO Video ridelikeapro.com and also found some quick movies from the series on YouTube. It was instantly obvious to me as soon as the Instructor said "look down, you go Down", I have during my recovery been looking at the floor directly in front of me for fear of tripping when learning to walk again.
Problem was I carried this onto the Bike and forgot to look where I wanted to go!
The Video reminded me of the simple rules when slow riding, so I spent a few hours in a local car park practising the exercises and have got my U Turns down to around 20ft on the SG.
I would recommend taking a look at the You Tube clips, even just to remind yourself.
LOOK DOWN, YOUR GOING DOWN. Oh and leave that front brake well alone!
+1 to the Engine Bars as already mentioned.
