Most will never know . . . nothing like riding a high powered motorcycle with some of your buddies.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Counter Steering A Motorcycle

Counter Steering A Motorcycle

The biggest problem some people have about learning Counter Steering is grasping the concept of “turn right to go left” So here is a better way to learn counter steering a motorcycle:

Counter-steering, leaning, and using massive throttle to steer the motorcycle from the rear is currently the quickest combined technique to change direction of a motorcycle. Of course on the street most people will not do the third part, so Counter-steering and leaning together will always change the direction of the bike faster than Counter-steering by itself (on the street). On the track, the best racers use all three combined. It doesn’t matter if you’re riding a Harley or a cutting edge Sportsbike, I strongly recommend practicing both together.

Motorcycle Accident Safety Video

Motorcycle Accident Safety Video

This is a dated motorcycle basic rider safety video. 1990s. While horribly flawed in some of its instructions (it advises to never use a motorcycle’s rear brake and to not do a full head-check, among other incorrect assertions), it still contains a modicum of good information. If you can get past the poor on-camera presence of some of the so-called “experts” and the sometimes questionable things filmed on the street in order to demonstrate what *not* to do, you’ll enjoy an hour of great classic motorcycles from a quarter-century ago.

For some of us a quick review of motorcycle safety instructions can be useful. In our age of cell phones and texting, motorcycle riding has become much more dangerous & requires motorcycle riders to be ever vigilant. (more…)
