    Good job, jerrym. I'd also like to know if you did that in first or second gear. In what little slow speed practice I've done with the B since I bought it. I find it's a tad hard to feather it in first.

    Gear to do turns in

    I fine second gear is best to use. In first gear it is to slow and the throttle on a Goldwing is to sensitive. That is where I have found the older Harley's easier to do slow turns. I have not tried it on the newer Harley's but if you watch the Motorcycle Police do their rides they use the throttle more.

    It takes some practice but if start doing it comes real fast. If you notice I have a perfect place to do it in front of my house on a dead end street with no traffic. About very time I come home a make a few turns and that helps. I have been riding motorcycles for 60 years and when you get older it helps to practice slow turns.

    I always like the handling in slow turns with a Harley but the F6B is about like a Harley in handling.
