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.

The instructors must not be too bright. That sure sounds like an
accident
waiting to happen.

Is MSF (?) considered a safety course?


Probably explains JohnH's condition.


What condition is that, Don?

Run down condition??


Nope. Had my physical yesterday. No problems. Sixty-three and taking no
medications. BP is 120/74. Cholesterol and blood sugar well within limits.
You should be so healthy!

(And I hope you are!)
