So how do I know if I'm "flicking" my bike. I'm a new rider and I just can't seem to wrap my head around the term. Thoughts? Scott
Countersteering.psalm69 said:Great! I think. Perhaps a better question would have been, "How do I know if I'm doing my turns correctly?"
its just slang.....if you ride a chopper you will know the opposite of flicking it.psalm69 said:I guess. So how do I know if I'm flicking it? Scott
A good turn is any turn you take successfully. A bad turn turn is the opposite. ??? :psalm69 said:Are good turns something that can be phyiscally felt or is it a matter of not sliding the rear tire or putting the bike down?
best way to spend a non riding day is reading that book.wonderjosh said:book: "sport riding techniques" by- nick ienatsch

The same kind of thing went through my head; the definition of a good landing is any one you can walk away from!canus said:A good turn is any turn you take successfully. A bad turn turn is the opposite. ??? :;D
Question A) yup. Basically, it's how maneuverable a bike is.psalm69 said:Nice response. I know about countersteering and I also realize that I do it. All flickable means is how quickly the bike responds to a given countersteering effrot?
Also, I'm still not sure about how well I'm executing my turns. Are good turns something that can be phyiscally felt or is it a matter of not sliding the rear tire or putting the bike down?
