I hope you can remember all that in the middle of a critical turn. I rode a motorcycle on the roads for about 5 years. I never thought about how to steer through the corners, it came naturally maybe due to all of the bicycle riding that I had been performing in the preceeding 20 years. You just said it in a nutshell. It becomes intuitive because you learned its how you get around a curve. You don't even realize what you are doing until you really think about it or we get in a discussion like this. The reason it became intuitive is because without counter-steering .. you crashed. However, understanding what counter-steering is all about can get you out of an unexpected dangerous situation, like avoiding a deer or something that fell out of the back of a pickup truck. I remember reading a motorcycle safety article years ago. When riding, the bike will track in the direction you are looking, simply due to unconscious reactions you make to seeing road ahead or objects on or in it. If you see and concentrate on a big pothole coming up in the road, you will naturally tend to head for it initially. That's where understanding effects like counter-steering becomes important. |
