Yes, it's a requirement for getting the endorsement on your license here in FL. Not optional.


And I wasn't using either break. I was just letting the clutch out slowly and giving it a little gas (like usual) and the rear wheel slipped out from under me.

 

when i first started riding i dropped my bike in my yard. just a little dirt in the peg. that was a while ago. was ridign with my friend last year he pointed to a huge branch in the road, never saw it. almost dumped it there going 55 mph. i was lucky.

 

Sagivius You may have already been doing this but If not,,,

Try a tecnique change, keep the bike upright for below 3 mph U-turns.
I see the Big bikes lean way over for slow turns,,hell we all have seen the
Ride Like a Pro video's,,,
I've leaned and kept It straight up,,
I like the straight up better,

Also I've practiced powersliding the rear side ways at slow speeds In
the grass.
Once a 600 Lbs bike starts to go It's goin..

You Had yer riding gear on,,,good deal,,

I plan to stay In the "Not yet dropped club" as long as I can XD

 

Glad you are OK! Now get the Ride Like A Pro V DVD and practice what they teach. The lesson on slow speed maneuvering is worth the price of the DVD alone. Thad DVD has saved my carcas more than once!
