As mentioned previously you should work in 1st gear for slow turns. A couple of things to be aware of is to look where you want to go (even if you have to reposition yourself in the saddle) and never hit the front brake with the wheel turned.

By the way, you have a nice ride there. The black ones are the fastest. I know, I had one. :biggrin:


Yes, look where you want to go. Do not look where the front wheel is or where you want the front wheel to be. Keep the head up so you don't loose the view of the horizon.
