What is the controversy? It's the same on a bicycle--you have to be going fairly fast on a bicycle to have to countersteer, though. Now I've only been on a motorcycle once and that was 25 years ago. But I understand the concept. To those who don't countersteer: how do you turn the bike?

It's agreed on this forum that countersteering makes you turn, the only argument REALLY is why it works the way it does. I've got my opinion, others have their own... whatever, as long as it works when I need it to, I'm happy.

My bike steers when I sprinkle magical pixie dust on it. The rest of you fools are livin' in the past!!!

Is someone holding a gun to your head and forcing you to read these posts? Then bugger off and don't read them!

Sorry, I tried to have fun, I forget that the internet is only for being serious.

His question was answered, now we're enjoying the thread. And like you said,
