Dont think this is a repost, but I ran into it. LISTEN (if you can he's a brit lol) to what he is saying. I think its a good explanation on what you should be trying to do.

All of this at a round-about someplace in the back roads.

Lol.

I say we hit the round-about in Green Valley and do some practicing.

Sounds like a plan...

Though I've done it in a big empty (clean) parking lot too..

There's something that is good about Britain: the roundabouts! We used to go round some of them many many times, but it does tend to wear your sliders down on the one side only so you have to keep swapping them... Over there they can be biiiig and wide open... gems!

WTF kind of intersection is that??? That's so fucked up. But then, he was riding on the wrong side of the road, so what did he expect? :roll: ;)

HAHA! That is really a f**ked up intersection. Strangely, I used to ride thru there often, it is just around the corner from my old Ducati dealer. I can ALMOST understand the guy in the car not stopping as there was not a lot of clear indication what the hell was going on, especially if you are not familiar with that little quirk. BUT, the sandals give it away, he was a dork...
