After watching this, I was finding an address in Hollywood Hills area and I found myself lost at a dead end at the top of a steep hill. I did okay. It wasn't pretty, some profanity used liberally used, but I made the turn without falling or soiling myself. Thank you so much Fast Eddie.

My parking lot is on a downhill road but the best part is that it is 90 degrees right of the down hill road and it has also has an angle of itself .

They are as much fun to ride as the bikes, but gearing up is a must at over 50 miles an hour or more at times in below freezing temperatures. I’m getting addicted to your channel. Loads of info lots of people that ride never thought of that need to watch to up their skills. I’m one, and have been riding longer than you. You have that practice thing imbedded in my mind now.

Nice work. I like to avoid u-turns on curbed streets.1) It creates psych pressure; 2) you tend to fixate on the curb you are approaching; 3) if you goof up and need more room, you don't have it! If you must u-turn on such a street, find a place like you did: make your initial turn INTO a driveway apron or within a quiet intersection. Just my thoughts.

Awesome skills and control. Call me a coward, but when climbing a hill, I prefer to do a simple 3-step maneuver in order to turn, i.e. bike is pointing up hill: stop, put right foot on the ground, lean right, handlebar full lock to right and just slowly back up at 90 degrees, holding the bike with front brake (clutch pulled in),. Pivot foot is on the uphill side, bike slightly lean also towards uphill. Then just ride out carefully and turn left towards the bottom of the hill. Not saying it's a textbook maneuver, it just feels safe and controllable for me.

I was fine until halfway through when I suddenly felt that my bike wanted to drop to the downhill side while I was slipping the clutch, and down I went. Lost my newly bought aftermarket clutch lever, and the rest was fine on my bike. I can see that I probably should have gone faster, but it was a steep road.

You neglected to mention: the problem with doing U turns on a hill is, if the bike stops halfway thru, or you stall it, and it starts to lean towards the down hill side, your foot will catch nothing but air on the low side, and you will not be able to keep it from falling over. Then you have the even bigger nightmare of needing to pick your bike up, on the side of a hill. It can be done with practice, but in general its to be avoided. There are some things you can not do on a motorcycle, like pulling into a parking lot that is sloped left or right, and stopping - again one foot will catch only air and you will drop your bike. If you stop your bike on a hill, it has to be pointed either up or down. Also the more your bike weighs, the harder it will be to keep it from falling over. At a stop you can lean a 200 lb dirt bike 30° and hold it up easy. A 900 lb cruiser bike is difficult to hold at a 10° lean... They never bring any of this up in the MSF beginners course...
