I ride like an old woman these days but back in my prime.lol.you did get the occasional run were it became instinctive.when your pushing hard enough you stop thinking about it.its feel.you compensate for slides etc almost before they happen.you could get away with absolute murder and it was easy.your brain recalobrates and its definitely instinct.only my opinion.any more thoughts???
Re: What speed does countersteering kick in?
i used to try and think about it all when i was racing and as soon as i stopped thinking about it and just done it i went faster??

yes its butt to tyre feel.some get it some don't.you can ride fats to a point without it but after that its gut feeling.unfortunitly guts get larger and memory gets rose tinted.
