What is it?
I have seen dirt bike riders sliding around corners with their front wheel pointed in the direction of their slide to get straightened out etc., but I can't for the life of me, see that working on a street bike on a normal turn.
When I use to ride my old 650 AJS, I remember turning the handlebars in the direction I wanted to go, along with leaning into the corner (still catch myself leaning even in my cage), but I have no recollection of counter steering. :?
So what is the technique/theory here?
It is briefly mentioned in the government issued motorcycle safety course book, as something we will be learning about, but no expanations given.
Can anyone explain this simply (So I can understand it)? :lol:
