DRILL 15: Slow Riding Roundabout large only rear brake
Prepare your speed with throttle control prior or gear down using slight front brake to smooth out the transition of gears.
Indicate, scan for vehicles, if safe to proceed
Engage rear brake when the bike is upright early as you take the roundabout you may want slightly more rear brake, with throttle control to ride the circle with balance.
Be mindful of not cutting the corner entering the roundabout, start wide and finish centre. The rear brake will control the speed so you can successfully make the roundabout.
First and fore most incorporate TURNING YOUR CHIN WHERE YOU WANT TO GO. As you know if you are turning your chin early it will make a huge difference to your line, balance and smooth movement.
Keep the upper body central and quiet, EYES TO THE HORIZON. Looking down will only unbalance you and the bike.
Scanning eyes and if you have to stop suddenly, check mirrors, bring the bike upright first clutch in and set up and squeeze the front brake to stop.
