QuestionI read the question and answer on counterstreeing and have a question on what is happening when a bike stands up while leaning threw a curve, also when that does happen what would be the fastest way to recover as your now losing pavement? (bike is now trcking straight out of the curve.) This happened to me very resently.
AnswerOnce you've countersteered into a turn, most bikes will require continual pressure on the handlebar to keep it on line.
Braking or accelerating, depending on the bike, will cause it to stand up and run wide. You need to trust your tires and keep your eyes focused on the exit, and your line, rather than losing your cool and staring at the shoulder--where you don't want to go.
If the bike wants to stand up, you need to apply more pressure to the inside bar, lean it more, and stay on it. This requires that you set a proper entry speed to the corner. Your entry speed, before you even start turning the bike, should be the speed that's appropriate for the tightest part of the turn. Most cornering problems start with a rider who set too fast an entry speed. The idea is "slow in, fast out." Set your entry speed lower than you think you need to, then when you know you've made the turn and have found your exit line, roll on the throttle and drive out of the turn on the gas.
It takes practice to stay focused on where you want to go. Human instinct forces us to look--stare--at a threat. This instinct will cause you trouble on a motorcycle. You have to retrain your mind and body to focus on your "escape route" rather than the threat.
Hope that helps.
