You don't need to "push" the bars to turn at speed, just wrestle the bike in the direction you want it to go.
Gear is useless.
I won't speed ever on the brand new r1/Gixxer/CBR1000.
MSF classes aren't worth the money and it's way better to be taught by a friend/whoever.

It fell over for no reason. Of course I was (not speeding, looking where I was going) and when it got bad I did not (lock up the front brake, lock up the rear brake, lock up both brakes.)

There's no such thing as counter steering, it's a complete myth, just grab the bars and force the bike in the direction you want to go.

If you think you're going to wreck, simply jump clear, you won't get hurt.

Harley Davidson builds the largest and most powerful engines ever made to be put in a motorcycle.

Wearing a motorcycle helmet will snap your neck the instant you get into a crash no matter what speed you are going.

A 500cc motor and under can only do about 60MPH and has no right to be on the highway.

When possible I've always ended up owner two motorcycles, one >700CC and one <600CC, though I did make it almost 2 years with just the 1250 Bandit.
