I like the sporty two wheeler. All the bikes look like WW II BMWs.

The most important question of all.....

With the sidecar attached, do you steer left to turn left or steer
left to turn right? That should be good for about 100 posts. :-)

With the sidecar attached you effectively have a tricycle. You no longer
countersteer.



Just came back from a ride up to Scituate Harbor on the bike (motorcycle).
Now that it's on my mind I paid attention to what methods I use to steer the
bike, as otherwise it's just second nature. Sometimes it's just leaning.
On back roads with winding turns, the turn is often initiated by light
pressure on on of the handlebars. The right one to turn right, the left one
to turn left.

For giggles I rode straight and true and purposely kept my body straight
while gently pushing on either handle bar. Everything you and I were
saying, JohnH, is 100 percent true.

We must have patience, understanding and forgiveness for the non-believers.

Amen.

One of the exercises in the MSF course requires the rider to ride towards
an instructor. When the rider is about 8 yards away, the instructor signals
the rider to go to his (instructor's) right or left. The speed is about 20
mph, and the *only* way the rider can make the swerve in time is to push
the right or left bar.It's a good exercise to teach countersteering for
emergency situations.
