Safe Speed Forums

Steering? Leaning? Counter-steering?

And now back-pedaling!

I can't let this go. Earlier you wrote:



This forum is largely populated by serious people who value their time and this nonsense is just a waste of everyone's time. I don't know if you post without thinking, or if you don't know what you're talking about or if you are deliberately disruptive. I urge you to consider your posts much more carefully in future. I don't like the way this has gone, and I'm considering my options for dealing with it.

PLEASE refrain from making disruptive and nonsensical posts.

Neither do I expect to discuss the matter in the forums - and that applies to everyone. If it needs discussion it will have to be by email.

And how is the bike made to lean? Counter-steering!

BTW, if I misunderstood you I apologise, but you did say
Since counter-steering obviously involves moving the bars and you clearly stated that you don't steer to corner...

She has her own bike! Another example of assumption.

If you're going to ask questions, try to ask one I haven't already answered in an earlier post:

There was a papermill at the very bottom of the Well Hill, where it meets the coast road, near the abbey. There is a speed camera there now, so be careful.

No, we do not steer to corner, a m/cycle is leaned to corner, how we get the motorcycle in & out of that lean is irrelevant to the discussion.

The point was, that the riders weight would be put to the right, as an automatic responce, when a vehicle would impact on the left. The other posters view that a rider could somehow get their weight back over the bike and jump off & over the bonnet of a car is not possible.

I'd love you to quote the post of mine, or section of the web article, which mentions leaning body weight to one side and then back. Basically, I didn't say it, you've invented it.

Do you actually read anyone's posts before starting to type, because it doesn't come over that way?

It was not your post

Stick to discussion, rather than this argumentative drivel

I'm sorry bmwk12 but that's semantic nonsense. How do you get the bike to lean? Using the steering i.e. the handlebars.

I asked you earlier if you'd like to ride a bike that doesn't steer at all. I note that you haven't yet volunteered to have a go. This suggests to me that you are fully aware that you do need to use the steering to corner but you don't want to come out and say so.

Fully ready to have a go, i but only need a few mm movements either way, can do figure of eight's if you like.

Would also like to see anyone corner a bike without leaning it
