It's funny no one ever says what happens AFTER you push the handlebars. Do you you keep them that way until it's time to roll on the throttle and stand the bike back upright? Or do you turn the bars in the direction of the turn after you initiate the lean?
the problem with the video animation (which is supposed to clearly illustrate what happens when you "push right to go right", or "push left to go left") is that it greatly exaggerates how much the wheel turns in the "wrong" direction before your bike leans into the turn. In our rider training class the video they showed was of a real rider (not animated), and you could clearly see how the concept works. And, btw, there are plenty of bikers who haven't ever heard of this.
Short, sweet and informative. The idiots from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation who "taught" my Beginner Rider Course could seriously benefit from watching this video and/or showing it in class!
countersteering würde ich als entgegenlenken übersetzen, und wie man deutlich sehen kann: um schneller und stärker in kurvenlage zu gelangen, besonders in situationen in denen man sich vor einer kurven leicht überschätzt hat mit der geschwindigkeit. wenn man nach rechts will, lenkt man also leicht nach links ein und nimmt dann kurven lage ein, sodass das vorderrad quasi eher aus der kurve raus zeigt. es ist aber vorsicht geboten, da die lage des vorderrades leichter instabil wird!
What a pontificating feed of shit. Learn your physics before you set yourself up as an expert. Look up Gyroscopic procession on Google for the answer.
All vehicles with steering at the front 'out track' including cars and semi-trailers. All vehicles steered from the rear, such as fork lifts, 'in track'. Vehicles with fixed axles and pivoted in the center, such as some mobile cranes, the front and rear wheels follow the same arch.
Great Vid.. one of the most misunderstood/important aspects of riding.. Can you explain the whole corner... ie at track day speeds from entry to exit.. How long/or what lean angle are you still counter steering.. Thanks again...
this video summed it up for me nicely. especially the animation demonstration. i am going for my bike license in few weeks (i have my learner permit) .. i have about 1,000km of ride experience.. so hopefully im good enough to pass! cause counter steering is the main focus in the course i believe.

The 3D Graphics animation really helps...maybe it's a bit exagerated but it works.

The action of leaning the bike causes it to change direction. The action of countersteering is one of the rider inputs that cause the bike to lean.
Countersteer is only one of several rider inputs that cause the bike to lean as so clearly visible in your clip.
