Default Re: Countersteering

hmm... i had read on xbhp abt it and experimented with it..
isnt it ... while taking a turn instead of turn your handle bar inside , you turn your handle (only slightly though) to the outside or in the opposite direction to which your taking a turn, enabling you to take a corner at higher speed then you could normally...
that article also had mention how to go abt it..
i had tried in quite a few places here. esp while going to college .. and on bandra reclamation, where i could negotiate a corner at 100 kmph ,which without countersteering you cant....

though yes..if you countersteer the balance of your bike is maintained especially under brakes.. i could very well feel the difference, using your front disc brakes even on corners was possible , without locking the brakes and falling off the bike!!

or am i getting it all wrong here?
