This technique is used at higher speeds on the public road, but at slower speed the handlebars are turned to steer the bike as with the U-Turn and Figure-of-Eight.
Counter steering takes time to understand and master and you will improve as you develop your skills through time and practise.
You must ensure your cornering speed does not exceed your ability.
You should locate an aiming point in the corner and at the start of the corner, you gently push the handlebar with the palm of the hand away from you in the direction of travel.
This weight transfer results in the motorcycle leaning over into the corner and as this happens it becomes a natural manoeuvre to follow the contour of the bend.
HOW TO DO IT
PUSH WITH YOUR PALM
When you look right into the corner, you would push the palm of the hand forward away from your body. Keep the natural extension of the arm and as you push the bike will naturally lean over.
Counter steering is a progressive skill and must be practised and mastered at slower speeds with gentle pressure.
As you practise this technique you will gain confidence in your own and the ability of the motorcycle.
