may help you turn the handlebar

NOTE: Motorcyclists - Riding through
turns and curves with your Spyder
roadster is different than on a motorcy-
cle. The vehicle does not lean during
a turn, so you may need to shift your
body weight towards 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 than is needed to turn a
motorcycle. However, it is easier to
stop while turning than with a motor-
cycle.
Tips for Additional Practice
– After you are comfortable turning in
one direction, try going around the
course the other way. Be careful
not to apply more throttle than you
intend when turning left.
– Stop at the apex of the turn to see
what it is like to use your brakes in a
curve or turn.
