Re: Keith Code Question

I haven't actually been to any riding school, however, the way I was taught 
by friends was to initiate the turn through countersteering and then fine 
tune my track with my butt (body steering), ie I start the turn by 
countersteering then If I find myself not following the right track I push 
with my outer foot to move my butt to the inside of the turn. Which I 
gather from the info ya'll have been posting means that I use both schools 
of thought in conjuction (although I could be wrong on this assumption.)


Just a side note on a different topic, I was looking through Bike magazine 
and was noticing insurance costs in Britian.  JeeeZ!!! The yearly insurance 
for british motorcyclists seems to cost almost what the bike does.  What's 
up?  Are the british cage drivers that bad over there? Or are there that 
many more 'hooligans' than there are here in the states.  I saw quotes of 
5500 British pounds for a 21 yr old on a new CBR600.  That's practically 
what the bike costs to buy!  In the States here I have a friend who is 24 
unmarried with a ticket or two on a CBR600 and he pays 2000 US dollars a 
year.  And considering the fact that the UK has socialized medicine, it's 
not like the UK insurance companies are having to dole out for medical 
bills like they do here in the US.  I just don't see how the UK citizens 
can afford to ride a motorcycle.
