there's the list of scoring in here http://www.bikerforum.co.uk/forums/n...ycle-test.html

Re: Belated Hello

HI Zifna, welcome to the forum. U-turns just need practise - once you clock it - you'll be able to do them 9 out of 10 times without putting your foot down! Remember, nice and slow and DON'T look at the kerb - but way up the street.

Honda CBR 600RR and proud!!

Re: Belated Hello

Personally, I don't understand why bikes aren't allowed a 3 point turn like cars
