I'm confused... why are the bars twisted to the right to get the bike leaning to the left?

@jojothedog1234

It's called counter steering.

Check out the video by 13mordeth, search "counter steering".

@barneystafford horrible example though. you don't crank the bars that hard to countersteer

[barneystafford]

@evosmybitch very true, and also the motion is really jerky and does nothing to simulate the act of tipping into a corner. The fact that you are just dangling there and not actually going around a corner means that your weight force is straight down instead of inline with the bike. This makes it much harder to hold yourself in position, good workout for the leg muscles though!

It was at the MCN Motorcycle Show at ExCeL in east London

@jojothedog1234 Try riding a bike with one hand, when you wanna go right, you turn the bars left.

Even better.. just get Twist of the Wrist 2.. Keith Code..

@jojothedog1234 It's confusing when you talk about it, but it comes soooo natural if you do it for a few times .... it's only practice, put in words not the other way around.... If you liked laws of physics in school it would be easier to explain and even easier to understand :))))) only a mater of counterweight, friction and inertia :)

@Smurfacation im not sure if theres a video from that guy, but check out "a twist of the wrist 2" from keith code. Its very useful and youll learn a lot.

A good way to help notice countersteer, is by riding without your left hand. When safe to do so, try turning your bike in either direction using only one hand, and youll notice that your pushing the opposite way. This helped me understand countersteering a bit more.

Is there a training series on dvd from this guy?

[jerdification]

and this guy rides R6????

@daonendonli look at the way he stretch his arms holding the handlebars, that's the way to break your elbows in a sudden stop... i think he rides a motorcycle though, but those of 100-150ccs

[daonendonli]

This guy lied he doesn't even ride a motorbike what he meant was he rode a bicycle

@1amserge Back the f*ck up and lose the f*cking attitude. It was in MCN at the time that he had died. It's great news that he didn't and I'm sure we all wish him a full and speedy recovery.
