Counter steering!
This is something that I’m sure the people on here that go to track days and stuff will be familiar with. It has saved my ass on more than one occasion on the road so I thought I’d share it.
If you read the attached article I (poorly) scanned in it explains it all.
Open it in pdf from here : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16323210/Counter steer.pdf
Some of the racers here might have something to add.
It’s worth a try next time that you’re out. The smallest pressure on the palm of your hand while turning and you feel the bike drop so much faster/quicker responce.
In case anyone is reading this thinking “I’m not trying that, I’ll leave this to the experts”. Let me tell you I am no expert. I have never got the knee down or done a track day myself. I just ride at my own pace for fun.
Anyway. Best of luck.
Oh and I hope to lose my track virginity this year.
