Counter steering VS body lean

GreyVF750F · 10-04-2009, 08:29 AM

I was on another site this morning and someone pointed to Kieth Codes web site about his new DVD Twist of the Throttle II. I went and watched the trailer to the DVD. In it he has the bike he put solid bars on with the regular bars. In the video they show by using the solid bars and just body lean and putting weight on the inside peg makes the bike do. Actually what it doesn't do like turn. There are other tips in just the trailer that is good info. For those that are "seeing is believing" types may want to take a look.

Body lean, yes.........after bike is set up first using countersteer.

My '97 likes countersteer better than any other bike i've ever ridden.

An old controversy most recently argued between Code and Reg Pridmore..........

most effective technique is a combination.........

You steer your bike leaning your body, I'll steer mine by countersteering and not leaning a bit. Let's race on a twisty road. ;-)

I mean, really.
