There’s a technique for motorcycle riding called countersteering. When you want to turn right, for example, you turn your handlebars to the left. This briefly puts your bike off balance, causing it to lean to the right. You then straighten the handlebars. You regain your balance and the lean of the bike takes you in the desired direction.
In DB terms, this brief turn of the handlebars to the opposite direction is called a 180. Time is relative. The bomb dropped about two years ago. In a 23 year relationship, I’ve only been DBing for a brief time.
Shaping your R is a winding road. Lotsa counterstearing. Countersteering is also counterintuitive. Takes a lot of practice to get it right, and to do it smoothly.
Right now, I’m going through a long curve. Not as many twists and turns in the road right now. My handlebars are straight, and for the moment, I have my balance. The curve in the road is gradually turning in the right direction.
The twists and turns are all layed out in my previous threads. Waaaaaay too much reading, but for anyone who is interested, the first posts in each thread gives you a pretty good idea of the course I’ve taken.
