Ok. Whatever you say. I quit. Not worth the effort anymore.

and overdue. I think most of us know a gyro precesses 90 degrees to
the force in the direction of rotation. try to push the left side of
the axle forward, it will move down.


Wow, no ****.... But still, I showed several bikes turning left, wheels
turned left.... And at least I didn't spend my day just ****ing with
someone here. Thought I was helping someone, but finally figured more
than one is here just to play....

Scotty, I spent a good part of yesterday trying to explain to you what really happens when you turn
a motorcycle. You chose not to believe it, came up with ridiculous 'arguments', put up a picture of
a dirt bike in a slide, argued against Wikipedia, expert rider videos, and a Motorcycle Safety
Instructor. Then you started putting bull**** words in my mouth and comparing me to Harry and Kevin.
After trying to keep a level head, I gave up. That's when I said I'd just made up the whole thing.
By looking at Google, Wikipedia, videos, etc, you should have realized I was bull****ting when I
said I made it all up. But I'm thinking that was the only thing you took seriously.

OK, here's the real poop. Steering a motorcycle at more that 'parking lot' speeds is done using a
technique called counter steering. The technique is called 'counter steering' because it is
'counter' to the way we learned how to turn a tricycle. On a motorcycle, we push left to go left,
and push right to go right, as was explained in numerous videos, Wikipedia, and over a million hits
in Google if you plug in 'counter steering a motorcycle'.

Here are some nice pictures explaining the technique:

Established that yesterday. Motorcycle countersteers, corrects, and
steers through the turn... got it...

The process through a curve::

Yup, counter steer, then steer, then countersteer again.... got it...
but not "through the corner".. your own pics are clear.... thanks....

You're welcome. Becoming more proficient can only make you a safer, better rider.

Keep the rubber side down!
