Re: Motorcycle test tips and things to not forget!
road positioning. that's what i forgot about.
indicate when your pulled up at the side of the road and pulling away. (Also forgot about this)
e-stop.. clutch at the last second..when it's about to stall. (Otherwise the wheel will lock up easier if it's pulled in too early?)
and when your at the side of the road..i put my foot on the pavement. there's nothing against this and helps measure the distance between the bike and the pavement well!
U-Turn,.. I found this easier in second gear. that way the bike wont jump round so much and seemed alot smoother...
nail it buddyy
