Agreed. I think shifting your body weight or try to wiegh the footpegs etc when going around the corner would put the bars naturally into a countersteering position.
The way to test if this is correct or not would be to lock the bars into place and THEN try using your body weight to turn the farker. Good luck with that! :lol:
And if someone does it, I want to see a video. :twisted: :lol:
I plan on living forever..............so far so good!!
