I’m learning for my bike exam as well. Looking where you want to end up, really helped me with both the U-turn and the figure 8. And that is not looking at the pavement where I want to go, it’s looking at something above the horizon.
Nother thing I noticed is that you have much more controll when you squeeze the tank between your legs. It makes your hip movements much more effective in balancing the bike.
