Well what did you guy's think about what he was saying about counter steering?I just want to see how many think he is right or wrong.I have my own ideas but wanted to see what you thought.
i learned counter steering the first night i got my bike, drove it 6 hours home and had to have some kinda of fun on the highway

LOL. you guy's are way hard on me. I love it. No I thought he made a good point in kind of crazy way, and a little boring too, but if you can ignore all the things in the video other that what he was saying about counter steering I thought he made a good point, we ride every day and really don't even pay attention to how we are making the bike turn. Iam always thinking of ways I can become a better rider and I do think that If we take a closer look at what we are doing when we are on a bike we can find ways to get better.

Some of us actually critique each ride. That way we can see how we can improve our riding. Even on the street you can set braking and turn in points, use maintenance throttle, Apex, then roll on smoothly. You can't (shouldn't) do it as agressively or quickly as you do on the backroads or the track, but you can still do it. Being accurate dosent require speed. It DOES require that you are aware of exactly what you are doing.

I ride backroads about once every two weeks or so. I ride the street just about every day, so that is where I practice control.
