If so, you are agressively countersteering the whole way through. And this was much, much more challenging for me than the video you said was dangerous.

Sitting in front of your computer playing video games doesn't count

Mike - I hate to say it but you're starting to be viewed as a bit of a troll with this thread - while it started out as a thread to assist you, it's gotten so far off base and your just feeding it more and more - all I can do is advise you to know when to walk away....

I am not the one feeding it. At this point all I am doing is responding to posters, like yourself. It really has not gotten far off base because I have , for the most part, avoided responding to posts like this.

A lot of good stuff has come out of this...

For instance,
1)Where to place the handlebars if you want to get good leverage for counter-steering. (about the same height as the elbows)
2)Drag bars are best for counter-steering
3)There are several ways to negotiate a curve. Some use continuous counter-steering and some use momentary counter-steering
4)The continuous counter-steering technique is best suited for the race track and not the street.
5)The momentary counter-steering technique is best suited for the street and is part of the Look, Lean and Roll course.
6)The word "Press" in "press right go right press left go left" means to push the handlerbars forward, not down

I am sure there is even more that I have forgotten.

Listen kid, your post is a troll post. This is the kind of post that should not be allowed.

It doesn't matter what types of bars.

3)There are several ways to negotiate a curve. Some use continuous counter-steering and some use momentary counter-steering
All use counter-steering. Counter-steering is the only effective way to change the direction of a motorcycle.

4)The continuous counter-steering technique is best suited for the race track and not the street.

Complete nonsense.

6)The word "Press" in "press right go right press left go left" means to push the handlerbars forward, not down.
Well... what do you know? You learned something. I was beginning to think it was impossible.

No effect that I can tell.
