Don,

Crikey, you must be even older than me ~:)

I think the point is that countersteering goes right back to the beginning
of two wheelers!

However, I don't think that it got properly analysed or accepted in the
public domain (i.e. excluding a few track specialists) until relatively
recently.

Someone said that this is a Winter topic and I agree. So unless there are
any dissenters in need of 'enlightenment', get out there and boogie!
