Experienced Countersteering Please

[Duck!]

You don't so much make a conscious effort to countersteer; rather you shift your attention to what you're doing as you corner and become conscious that you're doing it.

Says it all, applies just as much to bicycles as motorcycles.

...to aggressively counter steer in order to quickly tip/setup the bike into a fast cornering position. ....

would lead quickly to aggressively meeting the tarmac with your body.

Countersteering requires VERY little/subtle movement. VERY little

As I said there is big variences on how much effort you can put into the countersteering effect. Might be a subtle movement but it can be done aggressivly to great effect if you are actually trying to take a corner quickly. But yes can lead to meeting the tarmac for the inexperienced, as I have before lol.


I most certainly think about it long before I even enter a corner, access how sharp the corner is and tip the bike in accordingly. It's a great feeling when you get it right and set yourself up for a nice smooth run through a corner without having to re-adjust the bikes position half way through. A nice consistant lean from the start of the corner to the end.
