Motorcycle Training Fail #7: Low Speed Maneuvers

[@robertanderson2552]

I dropped the bike doing a u turn last week with both feet on the pegs. Today I started dangling my foot on u turns and it felt more safe resulting in more confidence. PS I did this before seeing this article... so good timing. Also I used to do motocross in my teens and dangling the foot in most bends was necessary

Another solid recommendation for the dangle! Best wishes.

@@jdelv86 thank you. Been left with a sore wrist and back since dropping the bike. Regret trying to hold the bike up during fall. My mistake.

@@robertanderson2552 I can understand trying to “save” a bike, but the dangle & dab makes if less likely perhaps.

@@jdelv86 100%. Having your foot dangling is akin to having your two fingers sitting over the front brake. Reassure and even less likely to happen due to increased confidence

@@robertanderson2552 that’s a perfect analogy.
