As usual went riding around town where there is a decent country road fairly level and smooth. There are several good S turns. It was fun working on some of the techniques I've been studying in Proficient Motorcycling and Twist of the Wrist.
Slow (outside of the turn), Look, Lean (countersteer), roll. However, I noticed I was leaning away from the turn. I've got to get used to leaning with the bike. I found it's almost a reflex reaction to lean away.
So I took it to the parking lot at work where I could have some wide open spaces except the occasional light pole. practiced counter steering left then immediately back right again. I'm still pretty rough but getting smoother, still having to remind myself to relax on the bars. As I go back and forth I find that I unintentionally get tighter on the bars.
However, believe it or not...I had a great time in the parking lot.
