DO YOU COUNTER-STEER?
CURIOUS. How many of you use counter-steering predominantly?
When I learned to ride (way back when)I never did. Of course, I never used the front brake either back in those days.
But about 3 years ago a pocket rocket friend of mine gave me a book to read on riding techniques. I've been counter-steering ever since. MORE IMMEDIATE and EXACTING CONTROL especially in exigent circumstances.
I have a bud who doesn't believe in it. But, he's stubborn old school.

RE: DO YOU COUNTER-STEER?
Me neither but didn't for a long time. I guess the courses teach it (CHP). I saw a pic of a guy highrolling on a bagger on the forum about two weeks ago. Would have saved his butt. I'll try to find the pic and post it in the poll.

Well, if you don't counter-steer, the bike won't lean over and you won't turn. So you're going to get only yes answers in your poll.
