    The bear scenario happened to me back in 2004! My wife and I were visiting Mt. Edith Cavell in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. We were coming down the mountain on a steep, narrow, switchback road. As we came around a switchback curve on our Harley Road King I stopped because there was a huge bear with her 2 cubs downhill from us near the next switchback curve. The bear was sitting right on the road so no way to zoom past and I knew I wouldn’t be able to pull off a u-turn fast enough if the bear came at us. Scary situation! We just sat silent. The bear definitely saw us and eventually the bear and her cubs ran off into the thick forest. I hadn’t thought about that little adventure in ages but you’re absolutely right, sometimes your ability to perform a tight u-turn could save your life…

    Robert, so grateful for what you taught me through your generous videos. Been riding since the 1980's over 400,000 miles on America's roads and highways. I'm riding so much better in these past few months thanks to you. My 1997 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500D has no first gear and I can't use neutral, so only 2nd, 3rd, and 4th....trans is sequential. Been riding it like this for years. Slow tight U-turns "I'm the Boss of My Motorcycle!" I'm 74 years old. Ever grateful. God Bless!

    I'm an msf ridercoach and talk about this all the time during our figure 8 exercise. A number of years ago I came around a bend on a sub 20' country road to see a bear eating out of a garbage can in the middle of the road. Made a quick u-turn and went on with my life.

    Brother I have to say I appreciate you, and you channel more than you could know. I road bikes when I was a kid years ago, and stopped riding when I got married and had kids. Now some 35yrs later I am back in the saddle, and I never really knew any of this stuff before I found your channel. I was searching for riding tips, and your TH-cam channel and unique way of teaching, combined with your skill set, opened my eyes to a whole new world. It's so true what you say, that you really don't know what you don't know.
    I liked and subscribed immediately, and after watching every video I went out and started to practice every single time I went for a ride, no exceptions. Two month later I went for my road test, and passed with a perfect score. I remember the instructor saying your Road King is a bigger heavier bike, so you are allowed more space than the smaller cc bikes for the U turn, but I did it in 18ft no issues. She also told me that during the serpentine cone test, that if I could not make the 3rd cone just skip it and take the points, so I would not drop the bike and fail, no thanks I will just make every cone and pass today, thanks lol.
    I think she thought I would not be able to maneuver such a huge bike, but no issues when you're the boss of your motorcycle.
    I want to give credit where credit is due, and I just want to thank you sincerely, because of you I was able obtain the skills, and knowledge I would need to pass my test, as well as make me a much better and safer rider than I was 35yrs ago.
    I hope someday I can meet you and buy you a cold one, it's the least I can do.
    once again, thank you, and ride safe brother.

I know I have to turn my head and bars quicker and commit through the turn. Sometimes I get it right, but need more practice. Thank You for all your great videos, they help me so much.

    Great job on the bridge Robert.
    I do this real time every day. Not that bridge but between a building and large trucks after picking up a little breakfast in the mornings.
    I could go straight out and around but a make myself do full lock u turns in less space than the bridge just for the practice. I have to be on the mark every time or I will hit a truck and look like a real fool.
    When I get to work I pull straight up to the building and make a u turn there also in just over 15 feet on my 2017 Road King when I park my bike.
    I make it a point to do these slow speed u turns every time I get on the bike because getting in and out of my yard is tight no matter if I go out the driveway or back yard.
    I pull out of the shed and have to make a 90 degree turn past the car in 5 feet of space. Going out the back yard I have to make an almost 90 degree turn to get past the camper topper with about four feet of space then another immediate 90 to another 90 into the alley, right, left, left. That one is my, are you moving? I'm going so slow to avoid taking off a fog light.
    Leaving work the driveway onto the street drops quick enough that I have to go off real slow to avoid banging the exhaust and then make an immediate 90 to my right to stay in my lane. I don't think the street at work is more than 18 feet wide because I am nearly to the center when I drop off the driveway with the rear tire.
    I have to go full lock and dump the bike to stay in my lane.
    I like this one because I am at nearly a dead stop coming off the driveway before making the right turn.

    I am always an 18' _hero_ on the practice area. But out in the real world, on an 18' wide road I can at times fall apart like a cheap suit ! It's about "state of mind". Failure gets into my head... failure of going off the pavement, failure of hitting objects etc. Looking at what I don't want to hit is a recipe for failure.

    The ideology of never letting an opportunity to learn pass you by is the best life lesson. I randomly came across your channel and heard you say that. My July 4 road trip gave me many opportunities to apply this lesson with u-turns because of so many reasons to turn around and see the landscape. I have a much better confidence in doing so now. So much practice is still needed but helping my girlfriend get better will force me to get better as well.

I was in a class today with a different TH-cam instructor, and I was doing just that. Looking, turning, looking way behind, and finishing the turn. Not proper technique, but it worked. Funny comment was your head and eyes are in two different timezones.

    Robert: I’m a 3-year rider. I was on a country road last weekend when I had to make a sharp left turn almost a “V” and nearly got hit. It SUCKED. Ruined my day and shook me up. I’m gonna practice u turning in a lot. Thanks for all of your love and inspiration to stayin alive and in control of the bikes.

    Funny you bring up a bear scenario. Last year I was riding the Blue Ridge Mountains and had a black bear bluff charge me while I was on the bike. I didn't have to make a U turn though as he came from the side. I had seen him and stopped a good distance away to observe him. He thought otherwise I guess and charged me. I gave it the gas and took off straight. You are right, those bears are some track stars no doubt! Fast!

    Making a proper U turn is my biggest deficiency in riding. I am the guy that goes half way then backs up and then proceeds. Not only is it embarrassing, it can be dangerous. Thanks for another great video; I need to practice!

    PitBull came out of no where as I was lost on a country rode and decided to make a U turn. Had I not been able to complete the turn I would have been dog meat. That was 20 years ok with me on a sport bike after some years of experience and taking a MSC class. Thankful for that course.

    Very interesting video
    Unfortunately London GB is about to charge any bike rider who leaves their home £12 per day , this is due to ulez charge so anyone with a motorcycle that does not have fuel injection will be charged ...
    Many people are trying to flog their lovely bikes now .
    This is a Gov requirement to clean up the air in cities and many places in the UK are bringing in this measure, Oxford will be only electric cars and bikes for instance .
    Thank you for your teaching , it's helping me after 20 years of riding still today 🙂👍

  • @waynejones6656

    I practiced on a similar road after watching this video and I was surprised that I couldn't make the turn. I had a bag of excuses about the road conditions before I attempted the U turn. 1 It was on federal property where I work. 2. It's not level....on and on. I think I was going too slow with not trusting my head and eyes. Lastly I didn't want to drop my bike although I eventually ended riding across the rounded curb and gave up because the bear had killed me. I can usually make a slow 18' without any problems. But the curbs and walls like on that bridge just punks me down. Practice, practice, practice. Preload and Keep It Loaded. Thanks Robert for taking the U turn to another level. I got killed by a 🐻 yesterday. Lol.
