As an elderly (50 this year) rider who has been biking all my life, I was wondering what all this fuss about active steering that I have been reading about in mags.
Dont get me wrong, I have never been slow round the bends, its just I have been using the "lean it over & look well ahead" method of getting round.
So I give it a go and to my surprise, it works.
How have I been getting round corners all my life ?
All it takes is a bit of turning effort on the bars (push the right bar / pull the left on a right hand bend) when cornering & the bike tips over a bit further in a nice controlled way.
All this might be second nature to all of you track day fiends, but it just shows you can teach old dogs new tricks.
