NOTE: Motorcyclists - Riding through
turns and curves with your Spyder
roadster is different than on a motorcy-
cle. The vehicle does not lean in a turn,
so you may need to shift your body
weight to the inside of the turn to keep
a comfortable posture on the vehicle.
You will need to exert more force to
turn the handlebar of your vehicle th
an
is needed to turn a motorcycle. How-
ever, it is easier to stop while turning
than with a motorcycle.
Tips for Additional Practice
– After you are comfortable tur
ning in
one direction, try going around the
course the other way. Be careful
not to apply more throttle t
han you
intend when turning left.
