| Push Left, Turn Left | Push Right, Turn Right |
Counter steering involves turning the right handle bar away from you to turn right, and turning the left handle bar away from you to turn left. Counter intuitive perhaps?
When I first got on a bike this concept confused me greatly, however it feels very natural after a few minutes of cornering for the first time. It felt just like riding a bicycle down a hill.
Counter steering doesn't really take effect until your going about 20 kmph.
There are some good clips on the web that explain and demonstrate the concept:
