    Another thing I learned from my years on a scooter: Notice how he shifts his weight while turning on slow speed. This is kinda opposite to when you turn on high speeds,you lean on the side of your scooter,but on slow speeds you got to shift your weight on the other side to keep the balance. Hope it helps!

    Yep, 40 year rider here and I feel like a squid when U turning my Burgman 400 because no clutch. This is a great help, thanks. I've been using the rear brake but not leaning nearly as much as your demo. It should be noted how you're looking well into your turns and not at the front wheel. A lot of people don't do that as much as they should...and I include myself in that! Another great lesson from you and thanks for your scooter work. They are hugely underappreciated here in the US.

    Great video. Just came back from a ride on my new scooter. (I took delivery only three days ago!). I have been following your videos, so I practiced turning and u-turns for an hour this morning. Found a really tight round-about. Not easy at first, but I found that the body position on my Vespa that worked on tight turns was exactly how your body looked on your BMW! Haven’t ridden two wheels for ten years, so a lot muscle-memory is lost. I’ve been watching your videos for the past month as I prepared for the delivery of my scooter. Now actually riding, I run through your videos in my head. Many, many thanks!

    Thanks for the advice! I've recently bought myself a 125 scooter and had my first lesson last week. All was going so well until we reached the U turns! Thinking critically and not in a self loathing way I think I need to practise maintaining a steady slow speed and having a bit more faith when leaning/turning around tighter corners, it's so easy to just grab the brake when you feel like you're anything that's not upright. At the moment it's such an unfamiliar feeling as I've never ridden solo before (passenger, no problem quite happy to be a little koala and lean when needed). Practise practise practise. Thanks again for such helpful insight, Lucy x

    Good demo. I point Nose and kNees in direction of turn. Higher speeds I push one or both feet into sloped bulkhead, this gives me 'connection'. If I take a big bump , this is more comfortable and less upsetting. Having good INFO is key AND also continuing practice/maintenance .

    These tips also apply to ebikes of which there are hundreds of thousands more lately (2022). A lot of older folks are buying and riding ebikes and having falls. One of the main techniques I see is keeping your eyes further ahead than you might be tempted to so you don't get tunnel vision and it works well for me. Something you brought up is power lag and surge and this is a definite problem with many ebikes. Anticipating when the power will kick in and keeping your hands over the brakes are important.

    I am a new learner. I am having trouble with my turning. Thanks for the tip. Will try today. I am able to take the longer cut but tighter cut I am always braking and start keeping my foot down. I think I need to shift my weight which I am unable to do effectively. And throttle control is also an issue. I am either too high (then fear of ramming comes in) or too low. Need to balance properly I guess.

    I did my basic training on a scooter recently. I would say to definitely figure out how to ride slowly first, which isn't really what I did. I was still working that out when being asked to to u-turns. I muddled through a few successfully, but was putting the foot down for a few too. Was trying the braking while applying throttle technique, but was making rookie mistakes, like letting my steering affect my throttle. Still, was at such slow speed that a foot down solved any issues. I would rather put a foot down than put the bike over. No point in trying to run before you can walk kind of thing.

These tiny tires are scaring me silly in any type of gravel-on-pavement situation. Any comments from you or from viewers ? There sometimes appears to be no "safe" speed on gravel - I've tried several, and slow is worst, but sometimes slow is all you can do in a given situation.

Rode a Vespa for awhile when I returned but upgraded to a DCT recently because downshifting is how I got into that accident. Still a little PTSD but I have been practicing the white belt drills before (as a warm up) and after (cool down). Really find your teaching exceptional and technical; like a great BJJ class. Looking forward to doing all the drills! Thanks man! It’s like rolling - I hear my BJJ instructors in my head. Now I’ve got you in my head saying “turn the head - eyeball on chin and chest, body position, and leaning and counter balancing”! Word!

    Could you possibly do a video (maybe you already did) on mindset/practicing to go on the highway. When I was younger, I had no fear (which was dumb) but now, I’ve practicing all the drills and going around the neighborhood and go on highways when no one is around (early in the AM). I am in no hurry of course but managing the anxiety/anticipatory excitement that goes with re-learning to go faster. Again, I am taking my time but I forgot HOW MUCH I ENJOY RIDING! Just want to do it safely! Any thoughts/recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks ahead of time Professor!

    Rear brake usage, while applying throttle gives the 'feathering" clutch feeling and instant power if needed.

    ....... Glad to see a crashbar on there, that will save you a pile of money ! I was anxious to see the slow-speed U-turns, on my old Burgman 400 they are tricky, the brakes are linked, and the centrifugal clutch is in or out.... no feathering is possible. You obviously really enjoying the scoot, I think that's great ! Cheers from Brazil !

    I ride a small scooter daily. 125cc. For really controlled slow speed turns. Usually what I do I keep the throttle up enough to be in the clutch friction zone, and control speed with rear brake (using it like a clutch). Can also keep blipping the throttle to get it into friction zone and cover rear brake for speed control. Blipping works well for just short turns.. Like a quick u turn.. IMHO.

    When you turning riding a scooter you should move your core of your body in the opposite direction of the turning is that right? Also I think in a motorcycle (Race) you can't do the same is that right ? Because your body is laying on the Racer .

    Where do you get your guard bars from for a Maxi Scooter which I see on your scooter? what is the correct name for them please? I am a Learner and I have lost count on how many times I have dropped my scooter from a stationary or stopped position. My problem is I turn the handle bars a whisker too much past its pivot point. How do I correct it ? How do you pick up a fallen heavy 200kg scooter on my own? Thanks for your video I will sure keep watching for more hints and tips.

    Ok I have a question for you, I have a 2020 DCT honda africa twin. Trying to understand how to have throttle control , but I just saw your video on your scooter, I may try using my rear brakes on slow maneuvers. Just trying to understand my bike . Only have 2 days out of the week to go out and practice. My story is a very long one. I'll make it short. Got into a car accident and fell into a 5 1/2 coma and lost 90% of my memory, before the car accident use to ride motorcycle, but now learning all over again. Every chance I get just to watch your videos and listening to what you say, it's really helping alot. Thank you.

How about on scooter where there is no footpeg, how or where is your outside foot pushing downward? Especially there is not gastank you can embrace or squeeze your legs onto.
