In article , says...

The comment that "he doesn't get it and never will" was bs.. Unlike
others here I am willing to learn.

Either way now that we are dealing with the correct definition I
understand completely, and always did.... Like I said, pressure on the
bars, not direction.. If I got that yesterday when I specifically asked
if it meant the direction of the bars.. none of this would have happened...

I know we put more pressure on the left bar in a left turn.. my
confusion was thinking John and you were saying it was the direction of
the bars in relation to the centerline of the bike.. My bad, see, I can
admit that too....

Like I said, like it or not I see a lot, that whole three dimensional
comprehension thing... even if I can't always communicate it with words.

The riders I train pay me well, so I must be doing something right...

Counter-steering is less important in dirt-biking.
And most street bikers don't really know how it works, as they do it
unconsciously. Some never even heard the term.
But it's important in an emergency situation.
Like a when a car appears crosswise in front you, many bikers will try
to lean it and turn the wrong way, broadsidng the car or otherwise
killing themselves.

I wish the MSF Basic Rider Course was a requirement for getting a license
everywhere. Here, when I
took it with my wife, everyone who passed the course got a sign-off by
the VA DMV guy on the spot. I
think a lot of states are heading in that direction, but not all by any means.

I think Calif now requires new riders to show a safety course. I have had
the MC endorsement for at least 43 years. When I was a. Kid, just needed
a license. Did not have a separate MC. Endorsement.
