I learned how to counter steer a long long time ago, no such thing as MSF or anything else. In NorCal riding the hills I was on this trail that had a deep rut in it, my bike wanted to go in that rut. The more I nudged my bars away from the stupid rut the closer I would get to it. stupid bike wanted in that rut. Then I figured it out, screw that damn rut, aint goin in it. end of story.

Perhaps. But I was thinking it was closer to 13.43 than 18.

Your gauge may be more accurate. Mine is from Harbor Freight,

There are no "passing the time" posts acceptable when it comes to cycle safety.

There is NO EXCUSE for posting ANYTHING that may mislead a rider.

Whether your posts are dumbass or smartass, none of them are acceptable.

The only acceptable posts you have made are the ones that can be "stuck up your ***."

My winter gauntlet gloves limit my wrist deflection angle to 9.77 degrees (+/- .54). Am I going to be able to ride safely when it gets below 40 degrees F?

Make your smartass comments to a widow or the child of a rider who died because they thought their husband or father needed to be pressing 18 degrees up (based on your advice.)

OK, this is giving me a headache. I started riding 49 years ago without knowing about this. Would you say push left to turn left is equivalent to leaning left? Because that's how I always thought about it.
