Dammit, we told him we were counter steering, not counter stirring?

Well then you are the exception. Plus you have the trailering skills. But it's dangerous for others to think they can just do what you do. For most (like me) it takes years of practice. I still practice pretty much everyday.

Come to think of it, it's 5 o'clock somewhere.

I realize he's dead, Ma'm, but don't think of it as the glass half empty.

Default Everybody countersteers

Yup, IMHO everyone countersteers. Try this.
- stand with your feet at about the width they are on your bike.
- reach your arms and hands out, as if grabbing the bars
- bend at the waist...
- now act like you are making at hard right turn, by leaning hard to the right.

Aha!! Did you notice your right hand went forward, without forcing if too? You just countersteered without knowing it.

You can force a harder turn, and lean, by deliberately forcing a counter steering.

Don't believe me. Next time you are on a ride, make a turn by leaning your bike, and keeping the bars perfectly straight.

How do you turn a trike without being able to lean?
