[ST] for Rod - turning radius - addendum



       Forgot to mention, when your son is practicing give him some
coaching on low-speed manuevering, most riders aren't very
accomplished in that regard.  Make sure he's looking back focusing on
the spot where he wants his front tire to go, dragging his rear brake
lightly to stabilize the chassis and controlling his speed with the
clutch,... not the throttle (holding a steady 1200-1400 rpm).  Most
importantly, try to keep him standing up on the pegs to keep the CG
low and enable him to get maximum lean while still keeping his weight
up over the middle of the bike.  He'll catch
on!                                 
                            Good luck;
