Directions
This exercise is similar to what you
did before, except that now instead of
stopping for each turn, you will make
the turn at low speed.
– Roll in a straight line. Ride a little
farther from the cones so you can
make a wide arcing turn at the end
of the straightaway.
– As you approach the curve, slow
down to no more than 8 km/h
(5 MPH) by releasing the throttle
and apply brake if needed.
– Hold the throttle to maintain your
low speed.
– Look in the direction of the curve.
– Turn the handlebar in the direction of
the curve, pulling on the inside hand-
grip and pushing on the outside, be-
ing careful not to apply throttle.
– Leaning forward and into the curve
may help you turn the handlebar
more easily.
– Straighten your handlebar after the
turn and proceed down the straight-
away.
