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. When we discuss this with our riders I call it "situational fixation"... the kids just call it "ohhhh shiny" ![]() Do you recall when we came across an alligator in the middle of the road on a curve. I forget how we instinctively dealt with that obstacle. It just comes naturally for me too like the day I hit that huge chunk of frozen slush... Had to countersteer and back and fourth a few times till the bike settled... But really I didn't do anything, my weight was fixed in a direction so the bike moved under me, I just stayed loose and let the geometry of my front end do the rest ![]() F'in magic. |
