Yep, MSF Course, the life you save my be your own! As for counter steering, once you are at about 15-20 mph you have to lean the bike to turn, and counter steering is the instinctual way to lean the bike.

 

Counter steering is automatic on most bikes, some do require you to counter steer, to get them through an S turn fast. Like Sportsters & Honda single cam 750’s to name a few.

At the very least get the Ride Like a Pro DVD. Better yet take a training class either ABATE or MSF. You'll be glad you did.

 

Push the bars toward the front axle, left or right.

I dont believe it has anything to do with what bike honda or hd, It is a universal phenomenon and technique to turn a 2 wheeler

 

LOL 4merracer.

 

I'd hate to be the guy in the top pic when that back tire hooks up. That's a big b!tch slap he's about to get.

 

Another thing: avoid conflicting inputs. don't try pushing with one and while at the same time pulling with the oppoisite. What happens is you end op with two hands conflicting with each other.

So do your steeering inputs with one hand , preferably the inside hand, push to lean, pull to come back up. Relax the outside hand.

If you concentrate on this you will be surprised how much easier the bike leans over.

 

I agree the MSF or Ride like a Pro is great but if yoi want to read about it, here's a link:

That forum "Master Strategy Group has some great non harely specific info. I use it and the info found here to answer most any question I might have.

Good luck in your riding
