Struggling with Sharp Right Turns – Need Advice After Two Falls!
Bikers, I need your advice. I’ve fallen twice now(not hurt) while trying to make a sharp right turn. I think it’s a skill issue. I slowed down too much, didn’t get my foot down in time, and had to brake when someone appeared, which led to the fall. How do you handle sharp right turns?
Right is difficult for me as well. one trick is to shift your body towards left while making the turn. But no sure shot way
In India, you'll encounter many unexpected situations on the road: vehicles cutting corners, driving on the wrong side or on pedestrian paths, random maneuvers, stray animals, and even uncles suddenly crossing the road (read it as "diving head-first") with an outstretched hand. There are countless such scenarios.
First, get control of your bike. Ride slowly in areas where these situations are likely to occur. When making a sharp right turn, stick to the left side of the road and look at where you intend to go, rather than at what you want to avoid. have confidence, and above all, keep practicing. as inr said in his comment, no sure shot way. how you can control your bike, you will find this out on your own eventually.
