Motorcycle Counter Steering or Push Steering explained. In this video Parsons' from the Northern Road Kings gives you a simple explanation and tutorial on how to safely steer a motorcycle. This video is full of step by step instructions and video graphics to break down and simplify the process. A must watch for the novice or beginner motorcyclist. The latest episode in our motorcycle travel and instructional video channel. Presented by the Northern Road Kings. Starring Scott Fraser on his Indian Chief Dark Horse and Gary Parsons on his Honda VTX 1300 C. It's not Sturgis Buffalo Chip, Daytona Bike Week, or the Friday the 13th Motorcycle rally, but it's the next best thing.

PLEASE NOTE:

The term "Bicycle Steering" is the actual name of the manoeuvre as taught by most government certified motorcycle training courses. This is because most bicyclists do not exceed 12 MpH.

Motorcycles and Bicycles would have mostly the same steering effects if they achieved the same speeds.

A motorcycle cannot be "Bicycle Steered" or conventionally steered above 12 Mph, as it would have the opposite desired effect. Nor should a motorcycle be counter steered/push steered (also the actual name of the manoeuvre) below 12 MpH. That Is what the video is trying to portray.

Easiest way to remember/understand this is: under 12 MpH, push the handlebar forward with your left arm to go right, push forward with your right arm to go left.

Above 12 MpH, push the handlebar right to go right, left to go left. which is the exact opposite as your did below 12 MpH.

Simple enough.

Stay safe out there.
