Question:
riding easier. For me it had to be about countersteering. I have ridden for years but never heard of it till I took a class when I moved. It's amazing how much easier it is to ride when you actually use it instead of doing it automatically without knowing you are doing it
If by chance you don't know what it is, it is pushing on the side of the handlebar in the direction you want to go in. ie: it you want to go right you push right and the bike automatically leans for you.

dont have much experiance on bikes?
For me, I learned a lot about how to take twisties, and keeping lines(the imaginary line that your bike is on going through a corner). Instead of leaning or counter-steering more or even using brake, you adjust your line(how close or far away from where you want to be, or going) by using the accelerator, by speeding up you can keep the same lean angle and take a turn wider, or by slowing down you can take it sharper or closer to the line. This is something most newbies or squids don't know. Don't you hate it when your riding in pack through a great set of twisties and the squid in front of you uses his/her brake to adjust their line. Also I learned that if I ever do feel I'm going into a corner too hot(fast)that I should just relax and let the bike do what its made/designed to do. Remember the bike will/can out perform the rider on it, so if you relax and don't freak out and not hit the brake( this destabilizes the suspension which usually makes you crash) you'll do just fine. And probably go back and do it again at that faster speed.LOLeasyyy
Correct handling and steering is a must for driving anything, including a car, truck, bus or 18 wheeler. You get out of it what you put into it so I guess you were ready to learn...
To truly look in the direction or place I want to go. I've been told over and over again, and seen videos to reflect this, that if a person looks at an object, they are more likely to run into it or towards it. It's best to look into a curve instead of directly in front of you if you are going around a bend, for instance.
i have some questions about motorcycles?
Yes, countersteering is important. I think learning how to lean and to turn your head to look over your shoulders. As an avid rider, I see so many near misses because a motorcyclist or car driver did not turn their head to look to make sure it was clear. I have taken the MSF class, and the experience classes, avoiding potholes is an everyday experience.My bad my guys i ment to say why do harleys have seperate oil tanks when other motorcycle do not?
yep countersteering was huge!! and then in another class another very useful item was tightening your chain by turning the bolts and counting the flats on the side of a bolt... like turn each side 2 times or 4 flats...my sons 50cc 2 stroke bike stalls on acceleration?
First and foremost is the street signs and traffic laws beforeyou go for any thing else.
Is there any hope of lauching suzuki hayabusa 1400?
OKAY!!What are the pros and cons of riding a motorcycle in LA?
Unfortunately, I didn't take the class. That does not mean that I did not learn! I was countersteering by intent long before I ever heard the term. I'll bet you didn't know that a properly set up pair of highway pegs will let you do the same thing with your feet.where do I get Hyosung body parts?
I agree with you completely. I had to take the cycle test in VA a million years ago, and they had training to do that. You'd think countersteering would be obvious, but I had to be taught. It really helped.i am confused in 2 byks Honda shine and bajaj discover which to purchase and Will be better and how?
i couldnt get in the msf class as they were always full, but i did the next best and bought a few video's from ride like a pro. http://ww.ridelikeapro.comthey pretty much do the same thing the msf classes talk about; countersteering, braking, looking where u want the bike to be at, and never grab the brakes when leaned over, i learned alot more. the video's are worth it
