Re: Failed U-Turn resulted in my bike on its side :(
I got my SV before my test so I had a while practising in an industrial estate which had marked parking bays, I had to turn within the width two-spaces if that makes sense. I dropped my bike twice. Then nailed a perfect U-turn in my test and I have never once considered ever doing another U-turn. I'm the "get-off and shove variety" or I paddle it round. Or I'll ride to the next roundabout/junction/petrol station whatever.
Put a cone infront of me and I can ride round it time and time again. I can turn around petrol pumps no bother, mini roundabouts hold no issues, I just have a mental block when it comes to anything called a u-turn.
The best/only advice I can give in addition to everything those guys up there said is remember to bend your inside elbow in towards you, trying to turn with locked arms is no good.
