Why not just lean into the corner like mostpeople do.

@TheTheoldgit You can't turn a bike just by leaning your body....change lanes maybe....but not turn. You HAVE TO countersteer to turn a bike.....any kind of bike.

@tojema Sorry, but you're wrong. First of all the tire does turn the wrong way initially....it would have to since the handle bar does move. And secondly....yes, people can countersteer without being taught about it.....BUT they ride a lot better once they are consciously aware of it. And that's why people should learn about it.

ur makin it way to confusing. if you think about it to much ur gonna fall. its a natural thing to do when ur riding it just happens no need to think about it.

when you lean the bike seems to counter steer it's self, i learnt last year about counter steering on my scooter by flicking the handlebars left or right making me nearly fall the opposite way but the scooter came with me the way i was falling, i never fell off doing it :)

Technically, July 4th is our (USA) INDEPENDENCE day. More or less, it's considered a Birthday of sorts.
