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.

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.
