I may be the only one here who doesn't get this at all.
I've been going round corners for years and the only time I fell off was when the chain came off and wrapped itself round the back wheel.
So let me get this straight.
Counter steering - to common sense this means to go right you steer to the left.
That is you turn your front wheel to face the opposite direction to that which you want to go.
Tommy said, via How stuff works, "That's because motorcycle riders must push the handlebars to the left to make the vehicle turn right and vice versa"
So - you pull with your left hand and push with your right hand, however gently, the front wheel changes direction from the centre position.
It was pointing straight ahead at the twelve o'clock position, now it is pointing at 11 o'clock - and you turn right.
Yeah?
