Motorcycle countersteering.?

I recently passed a local MSF course and bought the book Proficient Motorcycling, and I'm a bit confused. I thought countersteering involved me pushing down on the bar bar grip surrounded by the direction I wanted to run. For example, push right, go right.

Maybe I'm reading something wrong here, but the book is recounting me to push that grip forward, rather than push down on it, which would force my steering controls to go to the gone if I want to countersteer to the right.

Any help?

I Need minister to if you can?



Answers:    It's not a steering reins.

They're handlebars.

You countersteer with the handlebars to initiate a LEAN, and it's not necessarily "down" or "forward", it's simply turning the bar in the conflicting direction of your intended direction to lean the bike over. Telling newbies to "push right, turn right" is simply easier than filling their head with countersteering, coning, penchant, gyroscopic precession, and all the other physics involved.

Re-read the bit about how a bike turns, including the paragraph on coning. Then go ride, and practice swerving around manhole covers on a non-busy street to hone your skills and figure out it better.

Next time you are on a bike try it, push the right hand away, that finances steer left, the bike will lean to the right and travel right. Most people do it intuitively but its a well-mannered idea to be aware of it, elucidation this basic principle will allow you to take action faster in sudden situations.
