[Hondacb500Gijon]

Hello , its difficult to find a better explanation . In any case let me bring something to the subject .It seems tha some people tend to use both arms as soon as they consciously train countersteering .Talking about this fact i ( and others ) find that the use of only one arm ( tipically the one which is located to the inside of the turn ) instead of two ( both ) eases the maneuver .What do you think about ? .Sorry for my english .

Regards .

@Hondacb500Gijon I only use one arm for the pressure but I'd advise people experiment and see how they personally find it. (your english is great by the way) :-)

great explanation,I understand it but its gona take me time to get enough confidence to corner well,I slow down now and then power on when i know i can get round ok,

thanks for the great vids, subbed

@redline934 That's exactly the way you should do it, well done. I always say "slow in, fast out" (but that's a rolling throttle not sudden like those Mulholland crash videos) Cheers

@RoadcraftNottingham thanks, whats your opinion on leaning of the saddle,i dont see the need for it at the speed I corner at,I lean the bike slighty by countersteering and gripping the tank with my knees, I can understand how the racing drivers have to do it for high speed cornering

@redline934 Actually I'm uploading a short video on this subject as we speak. Keep your eyes on my uploads, cheers. :-)

Watched loads of vids on this topic Russ and this is the Best so far,Wish you could do a vid on when it becomes necessary to get leaning off the bike whilst cornering and at what kinda speed leaning off the bike comes into play to take that corner, because you make it look so easy.You know me im no speed junkie but always wonder should i be leaning off for a corner or do i have to lean at all,or is it just for bragging rights sort of thing

Best counter-steering explanation I've seen. This really helps thanks!

@RoadcraftNottingham thanks,yeah I just watched it, think I'll just concentrate on the countersteering and leave the leaning off fo the GP riders
