I do it while driving.

I just lowsided my office chair.

I just tried to wheelie my kitchen table.

Didn't work

Mak.. you just about made me fall out of my damn chair.. DAMN that was good!

I had a strange dream the other night.  I dreamed that I was riding my bike on a residential street, going about 50 when a big black truck backed out right in front of me.  I woke up right before I hit the bed of the truck.  But what was really strange is that the truck was exactly like the one I drive, or rather, it was my truck.  And the person driving it was me.

I hope you were wearing your gear, carpet burn really hurts

That reminds me of what teachers say to young kids, "Don't! lean back on your chair you could fall and whack your head on the desk behind and thats it!" its like errr ok do you want me to wear a helmet?

I mean for godsake stop wrapping the youth of today in bubble wrap!!!!

i find myself thinking of countersteering in the car sometimes 
4 wheels is just so boring compared to 2 wheels, i don't care if you have 10 billion horsepower... if its on 4 wheels, it is rather boring.

I have been trying to test out counter steering for the past couple of days.  Im still a little rough at it.


At what speeds do you really start CSing.  Im getting to feel of around 30 - 40 on a tight turn

Counter-steering works when you take your bike off the centerstand.

Ehh.. I dunno if I agree with that. Granted, I'm a noob of about 3 days... buuuuuuuut... countersteering kicks in at anything about 5MPH... below that, you steer regularly, and use counterweighting. It works well in u-turns. Ask me how I know. Ask me how many u-turns I practiced on my bike, after going outside the box during the MSF test. Explain to me how u-turns are easier on my GS than on their tiny 250 kwaka cruisers. 

LMAO! 
I don't feel so alone now!

Put your bike on the centerstand.
Get on the bike.
Turn the wheel any amount to the left.
Push the bike off the centerstand.
Which way did the bike want to fall?

If you're bold enough, close your eyes and try it again.

No countersteering involved.

Can't see a thing.

But, I will make another statement and that is: I used to ride a 12speed no hands and turn...
