"Say "countersteer" to a group of Harley riders and one may know what it means."

That is the truth. I *was* an AMA Motorcycle safety instructor for a few years (after I grew up and obtained a much needed dose of mortality / humility. Braking and counter steering were two things I stressed while teaching. If you didn't grasp those concepts you didn't pass my class.

Counter-steer, is that like turning into the direction of the skid in a car to get straightened out?
