Everyone talks about riding fast

But how's everyone's slow speed control? Thats where the real skill comes in! How about small radius U-Turns and such? I love riding slow, it impresses the crap out of everyone when the bikes barely inching forward but both feet are still planted on the pegs.

+1 ^^^^ Very good point. i love that feeling of being on a balance wire or something.the everlasting semi stop before you make that right turn.

If you can do the slow stuff then the fast stuff is easy . Smooth is fast . Fast is smooth .

yes aka msf course. Its a simple skill that the majority of riders haven't taken the time to hone. most probably figure why practice riding slow?

And yes in certain states you need to pay to take the class.

I usually rate a drivers skill level through slow driving.

It is so funny b/c a friend and i were talking about this, but i suck at slow riding or creeping. I took the MSF course and passed. i felt like i was gonna fall over at any moment and i was really focused too. any tips on tight u turns or figure eights; those kicked my @$$ and that is were i lost most my points. I have a 2001 750 any advice would be awesome.

Everyone will say practice practice practice . I say no .
Its a matter of balance and some people are " natural born bikers " .
My wife is . She started 3 years ago and the first year on her bike she could and can do figure 8's ( do one circle , stop switch the other way and do the other circle ) without putting her feet down . She was born for it . She started on zzr250 kawi , then on to a yzf600r and last summer was riding the snot out of my gixxer 1000 . But she has decided that she wants the 09 7fiddy so we will be getting one of those this spring

I like being able to stop at a stop sign without putting my feet down. Still working on slow tight turns. I think its just my nerves getting to me.
