I don't want to speak for anyone else, but that is not what I said. So, you can take your windmill tilting elsewhere Don Quixote. BTW, "stable lean" is not a "theory".

They think that you had to continually counter-steer to do that.
This is just nonsensical.

Oh, I am quite sure that if I had the time and patience I could find several places where said or implied just that.

This is where your inability to ever admit when you are wrong hurts you. You are just doing it again, not admitting you are wrong.

I think I can probably find places where you stated or implied by your words that you did not subscribe to a stable lean.

I don't know Miker, but I do know riding is an art, skill and instinct that not everyone masters well. You need mileage!!!

Take your shot Fun Boy. The burden of proof is on you. Oh and... "implied" is your mistake, not mine. I have no control over your command of the English language.

I seriously doubt it.

So, in unequivocal terms, I state my position on the relationship between counter-steering and stable lean.

I will be expecting an apology now.
