        Re: Counter Steering

        I have been riding for about 8 years and never heard or tried this technique. Then read this thread a few months ago and wondered if its possible, then forgot about it. Stumbled here again and thought to give it a try, and within five minutes got a good hang of it.

        Guys you wont understand or learn counter steering just by reading on the net or watching the videos, Just like you cant learn how to ride a bicycle or learn to swim, by reading about it or watching videos. Gear up, find an empty stretch of road or a basket ball court and practice.
        I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.

          Re: Counter Steering

          I do counter-steer subconsciously; I mess it up if done consciously .

          Simply put : If you're leaning without falling => you're counter-steering !

          Is Power-sliding an extreme case of counter-steering?

            Not actually a technique, it's the only way you can turn a two wheeled vehicle above a certain speed, you have no other option, once understood you can corner and avoid hazards easier.
            Beware of Bread, don't say I didn't warn you!
            More than 98 percent of convicted criminals are bread eaters !
            Statistics show that more than 75 % of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread !
            Bread is known to be extremely addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water, actually begged for bread after just two days !
            Bread has been proven to kill. Scientists have now uncovered alarming evidence that 100% of the people who eat bread will eventually die !

              Then I guess I was counter steering without realizing that I was really doing it.
              But now that I am conscious of what I am doing, I can take tighter turns and still keep my speed and my bike in control, which was not easy a week ago when I used to lean the bike.
              And yes it is much easier to avoid a rough patch of road with counter steering. Thanks for the advice brother.

                Guys I would like to add on counter steering almost everything is discussed no offence with anyone here
                1 Try on a open road at speeds around 50-60 Kmph
                2. while riding lift your left hand off the bike and then push the right handle bar away and in downwards direction little bit , you will see that the bike is leaned towards right and going right.
                3. Again from starting at speed 50-60Kmph lift your right hand and push the left handle bar away and downwards little bit and you will see that the bike leaned towards left and going left ..
                Correct me if this is not right .
                Now for mastering this and learning more watch this video
                https://youtu.be/DWgb0MtgNlo

                This is twist of wrist by keith code very useful
                +1 for the example of cone explained in rotation .

                  Just went through the posts and videos yesterday night.
                  Did a trial test in a safe area and o boy.. its just works superb..
                  Did a 150km hill ride(descending).
                  I cant believe myself, curves were handled almost avg of 70-80( except haipins and sharp u turns).
                  In highway firstime did 100+ turns with confidence..
                  Hope this will not make me more lazy..[emoji23](not much forcefully leaning required)
