Counter-steering I know it works but ..?
I watched Keith Code's "a twist of the wrist 2" before number 1. I've just watched the first DVD and I'm onto re-watching the second. After watching number two I counter steer throughout the corner, when I want to bring the bike back up I steer in the direction of the corner again (ie, if going right, I turn right to bring the bike upright again). It has worked well for me (no crashes, But I want to corner faster) However on twist of the wrist 1 it says counter-steer to bring the bike down, then steer in the direction you are going. I'm confused and afraid to try steering into the turn mid-corner at speed incase the bike does come up and I then understeer and hit car, wall, fence, railing etc. I would like to corner faster but don't fancy crashing. What do you think?

I'm somewhat confused by your question but, here goes. Counter steer...push left to turn left. The more you push, the farther the bike leans and the tighter the corner. Counter steering simply pushes the front wheel out of alignment with the back, causing the bike to fall over. Since this all happens in very small movements of the handle bars, there's really not much "steering" involved. You want to straighten up from a lean, just push on the opposite grip as you've apparently been doing.

Easiest advice i can give is to llok where you want to go. It works for me even on U turns.
