Re: [ST] Emile discussion w/Rich (about counter rotating brakes)

Well it's obvious that the steering wheel is pointed in a way
that is counter to what happens in a standard turn (eventhough
you always use "countersteering"), but it is not countersteering
as such. In this case it's not the front wheel but the rear
wheel that is steering the bike around the turn. And the rear
wheel in this case is aimed at the direction of the turn, like
what happens to the front wheel in a standard turn. So per
definition and specific also in this situation, it's not
really countersteering you're seeing.

Still, the lean in this situation is brought on per countersteering.
The only difference is that the front wheel is / stays in the opposite
direction because of the rear wheel trying to catch up with the front.
