THE SHAGMISTRESS






I had to practice right hand turns from a stop after the MSF BRC. Looking where you want to go is the big thing (as others have said). What you are describing tripped me up a bit, but I also ran into issues where I would have to navigate multiple potholes/manhole covers within a sharp right hand turn, and it got a little tricky for me.

I ended up setting up a mini training course in a parking lot. I'd line up along the line for one parking space, and then I'd force myself to make a right turn into the perpendicular line to the right. By moving my bike around I could simulate different angles and tightness of turns. Then I added paper plates (held down by rocks) that would simulate potholes and other obstacles to avoid. It helped me a lot with learning to avoid looking at the obstacles while still being aware of where they were. It helps a lot for both navigating turns from a stop and also for other obstacles that complicate the maneuver.

Then I bought a sumo and potholes stopped mattering and riding because easy mode.
