Dan, My point on the speed - is the in a car - when you slow down you get 'safer' - when you slow down on a motorcycle, you get more tippy - which, might mean you're less safe. Its a counter intuitive statement - but is true. -Joey -Joey Kelley JoeyKelley.com - My Life Online

Thanks, Joey, aka God's Gift to Women (for a brief moment.) I don't really think I was going too fast - a good rider could have easily made it through that curve. But, I was going too fast for me (obviously) at this stage. Someday, making a curve that tight will hopefully be second nature. I

Dan, Welcome to the group and thank you for sharing your experiences. Too many people get shaken by the first 'moment' where they dump it and never try again. In the 'misery loves company' field - here is my first dumping story: A few days after completing my

I have never taken a motorcycle class. I don't think they had them 30 years ago. But seeing everyone talk about them, I am considering it. I figured out counter steering as well as most of the concepts of which you speak on my own and in large part by trial and ERROR. Didn't even realize I was

Countersteering is *very* counterintuitive, unless you're a physicist. My advice is don't try to understand it, just practice it over and over again until it becomes natural. When you get it right on a long sweeping turn though, nothing feels better. -Kyle On Mon, Aug 8, 2016 at 10:49 AM, Dan

Thanks again, everyone. I'm trying to wrap my head around countersteering. It's a little bit counterintuitive. The bike is still not ready to be ridden - need the part to come in the mail, then hopefully all will be well. Then I'll head to a parking lot for awhile. Many times. On Sat, Aug 6,
