All due respect John, but I was riding and I've been riding bicycles
for a long time - since I was a kid in fact.

As to speed, there is a long hill with a right hand curve that I use
to build speed for a long straight run - that's where I did my
experimenting.

I didn't hit the ground.

OK, then you unknowingly compensated in some other fashion.

Tom, why the hell would I lie about this? Why would the folks at the
Motorcycle Safety Foundation lie about it?

" “Speed Stabilizes the motorcycle” and “press left, lean left, go left”
are two phrases heard by students taking the MRC:RSS rider course. During
the course students may be told to “trust us on this one...it REALLY works”
Well, it DOES really work, but during the course there is little time to
explain why speed DOES stabilize the motorcycle and yes, you DO press the
left bar to initiate a turn to the left." (from the 'lookie her' site)

Not knowing is not a criminal offense. Hell, most folks don't know this.
One of my brothers, a Harley rider for years, didn't know it. Another, who
was a motorcycle cop, knows it very well!
