TT, 5-R or M/H with a toad....makes no difference. They are all monsters driving in big cities. I generally make sure that if there is a highway going through the city I try to stay in the middle lane. Easier for me. I also slow down and go about 2-4 mph below posted speed limit. If you get caught or have to drive in 2 lane city streets just make sure you take your time and make wide turns. Relax and don't let other drivers bother you. When you approach an intersection that you have to turn at think it through before you proceed. Take a few seconds before you hit the gas. Keep an eye on mirrors and you will be okay.
99% of the time when other drivers see a big beast in front of them trying to manouver they will hold back and let you make your needed turn or lane change. They key is to remain calm, relax and drive the beast.

Good advice, you own the road in front of you and use it as you please. When making turns I crowd which ever lane i need well in advance of the turn.
