Not to be practiced on the road especially if your not looking further than your front wheel, your intentions are good mate and Im not knocking you but think about it before you make the video, simple things like safety gear, look where you want to go ect ect

despite the effort and intention, for which you should be commended m you have absolutley no idea what you are doing.

I use counter …
I use counter steering often when im on the throttle not letting off switching from one side to another, because the bikes centrifugal force of the wheels at high speeds wants to keep the bike upright so when im gunning it leaned to the left and i need to flick to the right i just pull the left lever..I find it easyer pulling than pushing when holding on pushing it.

Whats with this …
Whats with this counter balancing thing? I understand its principles, but most people when having to do tight turns just feather the clutch, look where you wanna go and use the back brake when needed. I can do a 70″ u turn lock to lock figure of 8′s without having to shift my weight to the outside of the bike. Maybe counter balancing could help with really heavy bikes, but everyone i know gets along with the look where you wanna go thing.
