Push left, go left. Push right, go right. Just the opposite of a
tricycle.


Huh?


He's correct. ame on a motorcycle. Push the left handle forward, the
bike will make a left turn. ush the right handle forward, bike turns to
the right.


Try it sometime.

Hmmm. Actually push the left side of the handle bar away from you while
pulling the right side towards you and you go right.


No. On a moving motorcycle, (and I assume a bicycle, although I haven't
tried it) pushing the ,eft handle away from you will cause the motorcycle
to turn towards the left ... same side that you are pushing. ush on the
right ... bike will turn towards the right.

I can see several people are having trouble with this. on't feel bad. o
did I until I tried it.

I think it has to do with the shifting of weight to the side you are
"pushing" on.


No it doesn't. Try it. Shifting the weight just enables you to turn without
as much bike lean.
