Might I suggest counter steering instead of leaning for steering? If you learn this technique, you have much greater control over your bike, keep your balance centered over the midline of bike where it should be, much faster response to obstacles at speed and, together, that can save your life.


Kit's bike is a 1972 Honda CL350 Scrambler. It's a ton of fun.

Was at a radiology conference for the last 2 days. Very informative speakers. Especially the panel of women with disabilities. They are trying to educate health care workers to be able to deal with their individual needs in a caring, non-condescending manner. I was crying in much of it. Fantastic. I followed up with the lady who introduced them all. She works at my hospital. I'd love to have them present directly to our whole radiology dept sometime. We have such a high rate of pts with disabilities of all kinds that we work with and as much as we've learned, there's always more and better ways to handle situations. Sometimes, techs can get too wrapped up in getting the exam done within a certain amount of time that they forget there is a person involved.
