Since I already have a plate and screws in my shoulder, I’m hoping to avoid falling down in the future…any comments on this post are appreciated….(PS: I also put this post up on Gixxer.com)…
I have question regarding how to initiate lean on a motorcycle. What about leaning the bike in the opposite direction (similar to counter steering) to initiate lean?
I’ve used counter steering (pushing on the inside bar) but, I’ve low-sided in the wet.
I’ve used counter steering, pulling on the outside bar with two fingers on the grips and two on the lever. This time, when I hit a small patch of gravel, the handlebars wiggled and I stood the bike up and then counter steered again (when the patch of gravel cleared), to make it around the corner.
I’ve used leg pressure (not focusing on counter steering - but I probably was) and slid, in gravel, around a corner and basically maintained the same lean. When the gravel patch ended, the bike continued around the corner.
Any thoughts, on focusing on leg pressure to initiate lean on a bike? Does it work? Does anyone use it?
