When I started riding MCs and reading MC magazines in the late fifties nobody talked about counter steering that I can remember.  First we rode bicycles then we rode motorcycles and never thought about it all that much.  

There was a lot of talk about throttle control and cornering.  I always thought I was leaning the bike to initiate the turn but as time passed I read about counter steering and to a very limited extent I experimented a little and came to the conclusion that I had been counter steering all along, way back to my bicycle days.

However, after reading Greg's post I think his method has a lot of merit and I am going to use it from now on.
