3. What to think about when making a u-turn on a narrow and curved road!

Today´s motorcycle tip comes from the Yamaha Teneré rider Thomas from Sweden who almost dropped his motorcycle in the ditch when trying to make a u-turn on a small and narrow country road which was slightly curved. I did the same mistake as Thomas when I was a beginner and I´ve never been sweatier in my life! A 10 minute fight against gravity to save my precious Suzuki VX800 from destruction!


Listen to today´s episode of The Motorcycle Podcast and a few tips and tricks from other bikers so that you don´t have to end up in such a hairy situation as we did.
