Exercise 10 - Limited-Space Maneuvers.

1 Objective - To be able to maneuver in limited spaces
...
4 With riders near U-turn box, provide demo
- Maintain overall control
- Turn handlebars and counterweight
- Keep head and eyes up, and look through paths of travel
- Coordinate clutch and throttle actions
- Maintain a safety margin

5 Provide simulated practice
- Stress handlebar turn, motorcycle lean and counterweight
- Stress head turn.

That's all straight out of the range cards for that exercise.

Here's a bit of what it says in the RiderCoach handbook.

Quote:
This exercise is designed to allow riders to develop their abilities in areas with limited maneuvering space. Although considered convenience skills, these maneuvers provide riders with additional practice time on basic skills within a practical context. The skill of handlebar turn/counter weighting is emphasized, an is introduced with simulated practice. Three exercises are provided: a U-turn box, an S-turn and a perimeter turn........ For the perimeter turn... this is to develop the skills associate with turning from a stop at an intersection....
It's one of my favorite exercises It can be very tricky for them at first and when the students finally start to get it right, it really builds confidence.
