Pterodactyl, I admittedly assume everyone knows this stuff. And that's just wrong on my part.
What I've learned on top of what I learned from reading Code's books is experience (continued learning) plays just as an important roll in one's knowledge base.
In one of the posts (seems to be many right now) about head shake, I simply said 'relax your grip'.
The other person asked if that is counter-active at higher speeds.
And the answer is no, it isn't. It's more important to maintain a relaxed grip.
Actively riding a motorcycle smoothly and in control starts at the body's core.
If you have a weak core, then you can't expect great results.
Some bikes are more forgiving than others.
But the basic principals are the same.
To me, the handlebar is simply the place where the controls are to maniplulate my thoughts into actions. Not a place to hang on too.
I'm not always good at the written word. I also tend to speak my thoughts in the most boiled down form. So if any of this doesn't make sense, no worries.
