Re: Tight Turns and Low Speed - Counterweighting
For those of you who aren't familiar with this technique, it simply means shifting your weight to the high side of the motorcycle when the bike is leaning so you are countering the weight of the motorcycle. It's a difficult skill to master, but well worth the effort

Counterweighting the gravitational pull on your bike with your own weight helps you stay upright during slow turns
