    Anyone know good car parks in Dublin that will be closed or quiet for practising:

    Tight turn from stop
    Full lock handlebar turn
    Counter weight, counter steer, balance
    Figure 8

    Just go to a local industrial estate and you should find somewhere in it quiet enough.

    phoenix park is pretty good.
    I also found you get most practise manoeuvres in by driving to krispy kreme in blanch.
    can do a figure of 8 in their carpark too

    If you hang around Krispy Kreme long enough, you look like a figure of 8 too.

    More donuts = lower centre of gravity = better manoeuvring.

    The likes of Alcohol Action Ireland won't be happy until we all have ration cards. Maybe not even then.

    UCD has plenty of car parks.
    I'd suggest you find the routes for the local test centre and practice, especially the u-turn.
