Re U-turn (I had trouble with this one too...): I second the advice to turn your head and look at the horizon of where you want to go. Two other things: 1) Keep your speed low, BUT DON'T "COAST" The bike will handle better if the drivetrain is engaged. Not sure if "centrifugal" is the proper way to describe the forces at work, but the bike will lean more stable-y (?) if under power. Second gear is probably the right gear. 2) Practice transferring your weight to the pegs (pick your ass up off the seat.) I'm not sure what this does on a technical basis, but it will allow you to lean the bike more at slow speed and I think you can leverage your center of gravity more.

Don't try the last one on the test if you haven't done it before.
