You say "turn that head" a lot. What is the difference if you turn your head or just use your eyes to look where you are going? Is there really a difference?

[motorman857]

@TheTacticalBarrage there's a BIG difference, you MUST turn your head AND eyes, not just your head. If you do that, you'll never become a skilled rider. Head and eyes is probably the most important technique to master. I go over all of this in my book and video.

@motorman857 Jerry, I very seldom leave comments on YouTube, but feel compelled to after watching yours. I have ridden most everything on 2 wheels, and been doing it for 30 years. I have been through 2 different MSF courses in that time, but am just recently back on a bike after being without for 3 years. Your videos are invaluable, even for a safe, responsible rider like myself. You have taken my confidence and skill set to a new level. Repetition breeds proper form. Keep up the great work.

@37185one Glad I could help, correct, practice is the key to becoming the skilled and confident rider we all need to be out there on the streets. Thanks and keep riding safe.

I've been practicing and riding using these techniques for a while, and the only thing I can't seem to find in the material, is body position. Am I supposed to be counterleaning, or should I act as I do at speed and lean in towards the inner mirror, for lack of better wording? Or am I somewhere in between? I've tried a variety of positions, and while some don't feel natural, they all seem to work.
