The fact that you do not understand that post and appreciate its simple eloquence tells me that you need read more!

You need to read more and ride less!

That has got to be the worst advice ever given on a motorcycle forum. Congratulations for winning the stupidest post of the week award! I am so fond of that post, I may put it in my signature for a while so that everyone on this board knows how useless your opinion actually is.

It is only meant for you. And it is not stupid advice. Reading and Riding go hand in hand. Again, that tells me you need to read more. If you ride motorcycles, reading can be very helpful.

The first time I dumped my bike (years ago) I did not know why and I was not about to try to figure it out by riding. I put in the symptoms of my crash and used my riding experience and I was able to figure out what it was I did wrong that caused the crash. In that case I grabbed the front brake when the front wheel was turned.

Reading and Riding go hand in hand. I did not say reading while riding, but you know that.

You have come up with your own interpretation of riding. If you read you will discover how other people talk about it.

Thats true, I did not know exactly what I did to cause the bike to go down immediately. But by reading I was able to find out the the correct cause, and I have not made that mistake again.

Lots of people fall in the beginning and are not sure what they did to cause it. You should know that. Maybe you have ridden too much. Again, I say you need to read more and ride less.

So the guy at the top of this page is not counter-steering? He's turning into a slide? Wonder why they put that pic there when they are discussing counter-steering. BTW We have the discussed video below.

Most of the argument here is simply based on the definition of counter-steer.. It seems that everyone has their own..
