peg pushing

[aussieidiot]

thinking about that "explain counter steer" thread awhile back and wanted to add about other steering techniques. are you guys shown to push down on the peg in the direction you want to go? that with counter steering makes cornering easier and helps you to concentrate on riding.

hehe, how about pushing with your knees toward desired direction as you're gripping the tank? or drop the knee to shift the weight (prior to knee-dragging)?

[flex339]

isn't that considering body-steering when you shift your weight to either side using the pegs?

[aussieidiot]

not quite. keeping your body still, push down on a peg and the bike will go that way. it works well to bring a bike back up after a corner or for quick 'S' bends
