You and me both!  If you watch his more advanced videos, not only does he get his knee down with one hand on the bars but then he does it with a passenger and continuously goes into smaller and smaller radius.  His videos are great.

They are, but my brain kicks in after I get over a certain amount and says 'nope, not happening, abort abort abort'

I am looking for somewhere decent to practice , so I can ignore myself and just do what the bike can easily cope with.

Good to see someone with their skills developed to that extent. Agree that it's good to practice. I took the bike out yesterday only for half an hour and a mile away from the house  but spent about half of that time in a local cemetery car park practicing some U turns (its always dead quiet there). Don't think the car park is big enough and I'm sure I don't have the bottle for full throttle 2nd gear stuff.

I had a wee session in the local co-op car park after my ride yesterday, working on u-turns. But there were still a few folk wandering around. I might nip into the local police station and ask them if they know anywhere I can use without getting into bother (stupid cameras and nosey people spoil everything around here, its so rural)

This is the one I used yesterday didn't have any complaints and I would have packed it in and left if someone needed the car park for any rememdering.

After watching some of his videos, especially u-turns within a parking space, I was practicing those myself.   Just shifting body weight is making it much easier. 👍

Many of these moves can be achieved with proper set up of the pavement/road. With sand, pebbles, stones chip patches, it’s close to impossible to hit that low in my opinion.

Don't recognise the bars, But I think that bars that go over the lower engine cases are a better option and give more protection to the engine
