Most MSF instructors only know what they know, that which the MSF has taught them. I think it is wonderful that you made reference to “learning more”. Here what I am teaching is very similar to what the MSF shows, but having taught for 25 consecutive years now, I let my student’s questions guide my verbiage. “Leaning with the hips” gets them to do what we are both saying. My credentials would fill the page, but it is not about me, it is about what works for “them” at this stage. Thanks

Good tips, BUT for slow speed turns. To make a bike turn in for slow speed tight turns you DO lean opposite the bike. This is for speeds near a slow to fast walking speed.

At riding speeds you lean WITH the bike and you do not "steer" the bike. Instead you press a bit harder against the handgrip in the direction of the turn. Press left, go left. Press right, go right.

@andyvh1959 Thank you for watching and comenting...we are all saying the same thing here...I teach to lean oppersite the bike while steering. Watch once more. Please view all my DVD clips as we teach many ways to chage direction...like leaning to the inside of the bikes center line as we get more advanced. Ride safe, Christine

Are you telling me that you have to turn the wheel to make a turn at low speeds? You are the John Madden motorcycle riding.

[viggoM35]

That's funny I never have problems turning when drag racing. ;)

[cyclopse50]

cleared this right up for me. Thanks! Ill go try it now, hopefully i dont drop my bike :P

[buzincarl]

usually when I look where I am going the bike goes with me :), its like a natural thing to do, you dont think about it.

I dont mean just turning ur eyes, i mean moving ur head over shoulder or w/e

@cfirehock Hi, i want to ask you about the "lessons" that someone has to take (how many times he/she must come to you)and about the practice location(if it is a parking lot or you will take him/her to a real road with other users during the courses). I am not a US citizen so thats why i ask.

-Thank you.

@andyvh1959 At speeds around 11mph+, pushing on the right handlebar to turn right... it's called counter-steering. Do I get a cookie? :D

[SocalTones805]

It's terrible the way the motorcycle community on YouTube gets caught up arguing on semantics rather than writing out what they mean in simple English.. All these BS made up terms like counter steering don't help anyone if you don't explain specifically what it is you mean.

[ragebowhunter93]

the correct way to do it is push the handlebars the way you wanna go while turning your head, not looking down. its wayyyy easier

[Brainiac83]

LOOOOL what ive just seen. Om FG

[BluePhoenixBoy]

@adrian84vj Agreed... There are way too many ungrateful people on the internet.
