don't know if I'm missing something or not - are you countering steering for slow speed maneuvers? On my bike I counter balance (Torso mostly - higher speeds may stand a little{great for off road}) -and under 5 mph do basic steering usually can make 16 foot turns with out the brake just playing the friction zone (light bike 440 lbs)l if for some reason (Rarely happens) I will transition to counter steering if need be. At higher speeds on my bike 5 mph I always counter steer

Like many others who have made this same comment, THIS is the video that I've been waiting to see! Thank you very much for posting it. I have found it very helpful. Now, having said that, I will head out tomorrow to practice what you are teaching and I KNOW that I will fail! I have been trying everyday for four weeks now, to do an 18' u-turn. My objective is to do a full-lock u-turn, but I will be happy if I can do 18' consistently. Here is my problem - I get set to do the u-turn, adjust my speed, I have the friction zone no problem, I turn my head right around, then I start to lean the bike, BUT I can lean only so far then I chicken out!! Why does this happen??? I can do 20' u-turns no problem, left and right. How can I overcome this fear of having the motorcycle falling right over? I guess the main question that I have that no one on any video has explained to me, is, will the motorcycle NOT fall over as long as I have power to the rear wheel and I'm doing at least 5mph?? I want to be able to hear the scrape on this u-turn! I scrape on higher speed turns on the road, so I know that I CAN lean that far. Thank you!!!

Excellent demo and instruction! Concept of remaining vertical and having the bike roll right or left has under you has helped me with slow speed turns. Since the center of gravity of a sitting human is about at the height of your solar plexus, remaining vertical does provide some counter weighting since the CG of your body is “on the out side” of the CG of the “rolled to the inside” bike.

Hi, Thanks for this. I am amped up to get out and practice. I know practice, and speed, is probably the answer to my issue, but its that initial start to the turn when the bars feel like they want to tuck and fall into the turn that gets me. I also tend to overthink it. Years ago, before we had "training and knowledge", I don't think I had any problem with U-turns. If I missed the turn, I turn round and go back, now my head spins with all the things I have to do to make the turn. Doh!

Same as any other bike honestly...it's all the same.
