    Most people put their foot down on the U-turn because the bike loses speed and starts to drop into the turn, at which point panic sets in, and they pull the clutch in and hit the brakes (and then struggle to hold it up). At the point at which the bike starts to drop into the turn, ease the clutch out. The extra speed helps the bike right itself. Remember, slowing when leant over will cause the bike to lean more. Whereas, increasing your speed will bring the bike back upright. Either that, or get off and push it round... ;D
