RE: DO YOU COUNTER-STEER?
counter-steering can be counter-productive if your counter-weight does not counter-balance your kitchen-counter showing obvious signs of your counter-intelligence.
Push?! Pull?! Make the turn and we will keep on ridin'.

How can you not and drive a motorcycle. I suspect people do it on instinct, and don't even know they are doing it.

I mean, when there is an unexpected obstacle, how are you going to do that crisp S turn, scraping whatever as you lay it over first one way and then the other if you don't know how?

Seriously, I don't mean to offend anyone but some of you are attaching too high a 'degree of difficulty' to riding a motorcycle.Amazingly some of us learned to ride before there were riding schools, MSF or Riders Edge courses.
But we countersteered and did other things that some people thinkthey must be taught.Or at least explained to them whythings happen certain ways. Riding amotorcycle is not rocket science folks.
Street bike riding can be tricky at speed in the twisties, or avoiding becoming a hood ornament in the city. Althoughit takes more actualskill to ride/race dirt bikes, even that is not a real deep mysterious process.
This thread makes about as much sense as 'When you stop, put a foot down. Or perhaps two feet. There are pros and cons'.
