Hey, it went for longer than I thought it would!!

Made this move up in a bar...

granted you do this at really slow speed, like in a parking lot(to offset the bike's weight with yours). But the whole track thing, he he he just made up

What else are we supposed to do when the board is down

While talking to some trackday instructors at Fontana during the races, they explained a new leaning technique that has been developed.  Put simply its called counter-leaning.

Imagine a track with a right then a left then a right;
When you enter the right hand turn and the next turn is the lefty.  You lean your body to the left, while leaning the bike right.  This way your body is in position for the next corner while the bike turns thru the right corner.  Then when you enter the left, you lean your body to the right while leaning the bike to the left.  And so on.  

Racers are now integrating this new technique.  Counter-leaning, the new way of cornering??

I've started trying it, and have to admit it works pretty good.

Report:

...tried it out today on couple of twisties...

...its ok for slow speed, low weight bikes!!! But with the busa, I didnt feel too confident... the old school still works for me!!

Can you say GOTCHYA !!!!

I was wondering how long we were gonna keep this going!

now now....let's remember that there are some newer riders here, folks....

we don't want them to go out an try a 90mph sweeper doing something we were joking about. No flames, just a lil bit of conservation.

I hear ya, that's why I PM'd everyone who posted. You got 7 of them, because of the board difficulties

Especially since you don't have any hair to protect you from roadrash

Charles was talking about "counter leaning" Friday nite at Fontana....later when he actually did it getting on to a freeway on ramp I was laughing so hard I almost lost it. Saturday at the races we were on a demo ride with Nijinsky3, Charles was following the leader on the demo and the guy behind him and in front of me was "counter leaning" all over the place

it was hilarious. He would lean his bike as far as he could one way and then HE would lean as far as he could the opposite way. Only Julie and I could see this guy doing this and after the ride we told Charles about it and asked him if he had given this guy some riding tips before our demo

Wow, the last time I was at a bar talking about bikes was with NJ after I had ridden his fine machine! Now that was fun!

i find myslef doing the counterlean thing alot it feels pretty good just worry about leaning to busa over too much with all my weight on the top instead of down low might just slip and fall right on the bike

will have to practice more

I was earlier using the counter balance as charles busa has said, but now am leaning into the turn along with the bike

Try this one:

Strap your butt to the bottom of the bike (this may require raising the bike for most of us). That will make you body weight almost negligible in the corners.

Of course it won't do a thing for your aerodynamics.
