    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.

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.

    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.

    i can eat maybe 2 donuts from there before the sugar becomes too much for me xD

    but i was good practise, could do slow riding and filtering.

    More donuts = lower centre of gravity = better manoeuvring.

    That's exactly what lennymc used to say :pac:

    It took a while but I don't mind. How does my body look in this light?

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