Just booked the practical - what to do now?

I had trouble with my U-truns and most other people I know who ride did, so you are not alone!

My advice would be, quite a lot of revs, get the bike go forward using the clutch (slipping it) for a few feet, and then twist your neck (almost like an owl!) to where you want to go (but dont look at the kerb!, look head high, as the bike has a habbit of going where you look) and control the speed with the rear brake (dont even think about the front brake!) if you feel the bike falling inwards, ease the clutch out a bit / ease off rear brake a little and it will be fine)

Personally i found leaving out of the turn a little helps... and keeping the revs up (or as i found blipping it) and slipping the clutch...
