At very low, parking-lot speeds, how do you steer the motorcycle?
- A.Countersteering works exactly the same at 2 mph as at 60 mph
- B.You cannot steer below 10 mph
- C.Only by dragging your feet on the ground
- D.By turning the handlebars in the direction you want to go
Correct answer
D. By turning the handlebars in the direction you want to go
Why
At walking speeds you steer directly by turning the handlebars toward where you want to go, using the friction zone for control. Countersteering by pressing takes over as speed rises above parking-lot pace.
