Yea i did the most today at Loftus and passed! (Actually i ACED it) got 100% in the test, cant believe i nailed the U Turn when if i pushed my bike on full lock it wouldn't make it in the space... Basically took everyone stock standard advice for everything here and i Leaned the facker! Worked a treat.

It was a very good day learnt heaps and the instructor was a really good bloke. I will hopefully improve my buffering and was told i drop my head when cornering and I need to keep it upright Also need to work on keeping steady throttle and looking FORWARD when cornering! Im sure ill get pounded for that last few at my intermediate cornering course with stay upright tomorrow at Oran Park.

congrats mate

for others that cant make the U turn remember its always better to go outside of the line than to put your foot down when putting your foot down u tent to skip and put your foot down 2-3 times before stopping thats a fail if u go over the U turn line u still have plenty of points left everyone thought i was mad when i was telling them how i was going to tackle the course and i nailed everything else and passed

Dizzi do it on there bike, a postie bike or ride over the U turn line do your head checks and you'll pass just DONT PUT YOUR FEET DOWN

when putting your foot down the first time is 2-3 points than second time is 4-5 points on top of the 2-3 and u usually skip your foot in a turn and trying to stop to hold the bike up so keep this in mind i think u have 7 points to start with or your allowed 7 points

Congrats D Monkey, it's always good to see someone get through.
I don't necessarily agree though gazza. You are always better off doing it on your own bike I think. It's the thing you're most familiar and comfortable with and any LAMS bike will easily go through the Uturn with practise. Students tend to get all panicky about making the Uturn but it really is no big deal.

out of my group there were 8 guys one 1 guy made it thru the u turn i rode outside of the line and the other 6 guys put there foot down scoring points the guy who had made it was using the hired bike CB250 i think it was everyone else were on hyosung GTR250-650,honda CBR250,kawasaki ZXR250 and a virgo during the practice runs none of us could make the U turn it seemed impossible we watched the lady (instructor) do it she had to lean right over to the left over the bike and lean the bike right over to the right to do the right hand U turn
