I wonder if there is some confusion over terms in this thread? Counter-steer and counter-lean are two different things. Counter-steer induces lean of the motorcycle as a direct result of Newton's laws of motion and gyroscopic precession. Basically, the front wheel is a big gyroscope. When you...

I agree with what I think is the underlying sentiment -- taking the bike down to the pegs on every street corner is asking for trouble. But at the same time, I think it is wise to maintain muscle memory of the limits by occasionally cornering harder than necessary in controlled (or at least...

Damn that course looks like fun!

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outraged youtubers, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them? (with my apologies to the Bard) Ok, so I fell down a youtube rabbit hole the other day and stumbled upon a helmet cam video posted by...

Something to be aware of:

The other day I was getting off the superslab, around the break of dawn in a light rain. Typical exit ramp -- gentle right hand followed by an uphill left hand to the overpass. Traffic was building, so speed was limited. Visibility was poor -- just shades of dark grey amid the glare of lights on...

Last Saturday it was -35° out, I blew the transmission on the truck, the starter motor on the car was frozen and the battery on the snowmobile died. The best I could do was sit on the bike in the garage making vroom-vroom noises. I'd be happy with a little freezing fog. Feel better? :ROFLMAO:

It is semi-legal in Ontario. There is no law prohibiting sharing a lane, provided both vehicles are entirely within the lane. There is a law prohibiting straddling the line. I personally am with Roiscuba. I like to maintain at least two escape routes at all times. Squeezing between two cars...
