Man after reading THAT not only do my brain and eyes hurt but im left wondering how the hell im supposed to steer.

If i turn left i lean left and point the wheel left in order to increace the effect of gyroscopic whatsit and actually get around the corner (unless i only think im steering left and im actually steering right Oo1.gif ) yada yada for right turns.#

mad1.gif this is proper confusing with all the arguments and stuf and physics

Hehe, pretty simple matey, ride along at 30-40 on a straight road and gently push your bars right, see which way your bike tries to turn.

Love your new sig Zombie, the double negative lbhh.gif

going round corners has nothing to do with the front wheel??? shame on you mate lol!!

I didnt say going around corners has nothing to do with the front wheel, of course it does, however when leaning it has just as much to do with the rear wheel as the front.

However all this physics has nothing whatsoever to do with actually making your bike go around a corner, that is more by feel and feedback than anything else.
