hey Chute and welcome!! :-)

Even though you are not a kid and have road experience in a car, you really do need to get some training on the bike and read the link in my sig about counter steering, *that* is how bikes steer, period!!

Enjoy the forums and stay safe!! :-)

Hhaha thats funny u mention that. Last night i saw a post from u and read ur article as well as several vids on youtube about counter steering. Ive been getting comfortable sitting on my buddys R6 getting used to the controls shifting , clutch feel ect ect. He wont let me take it out of first yet tho lol. I feel pretty comfortable tho. And im hoping with some parking lot experience i should be ok. I understand the power of machines and am not really a daredevil speed demon. I have a very healthy fear of what these things can do.
