Default RE: Dropped my bike again

I have that video and I think the 2nd one. I'd definitely practice those maneuvers in an open parking lot and get it down pat before hitting the street. I used the parking lot at work for about 10-15 mins before going in over a couple weeks, then worked on quiet residential streets. Remember to:
[ul][*]Keep head and eyes up[*]Look where you want to go[*]DONT look down[*]Maintain the friction zone, keeping and applying power as necessary to maintain momentum[*]DONT pull the clutch in while turning[/ul]
I review these DVD's periodically and practice often.

Keep practicing and good work on the lift.
