Now off to sweat out some evil spirits then eat another goddamn salad.
A salty salad?

Heady Topper, to be followed by a Torpedo.
bleh....got a couple more hours.
So nothing has changed?
Happy now, pow boi?
No. I actually preferred the chaos.
So did I. Then quit your bellyaching. We are here to serve, peon!No. I actually preferred the chaos.
OK, we'll posit that. You get nothing but rain this winter.Goddam mods are out of control.
Sorry - elevaton is too high for that to happen.
Countersteering not only works at lower speeds but is necessary to initiate any turn unless you are performing wild upper body gesticulations. At lower speeds it just isn't very obvious.
I'd be happy to go into a detailed technical explanation. Seriously, I love that shit.
Precession!
A non minimum phase system is non minimum phase at any speed.
Turning a bike requires applying a lateral force towards the center of the turn. This requires a lean angle less you want to fall over. Since you cannot apply a moment about the longitudinal contact patch the only way to achieve the lean is to move the contact patch in relation to the center of gravity. This is done by counter-steering.
Think of it like balancing a broom on your hand. If you want to accelerate to the left, you must first move your hand to the right to create the lean angle. Once the proper angle is achieved you can move to the left.

Shit, I make it rain phase son.
"Snowed" in RMNP last night.Sorry - elevaton is too high for that to happen.
Well - you guys need to be concerned. What with rain being a *real* possibility.
Ugh, it's damn hot. Last week of my vacation and I am still looking forward to the weekend.
12 miles on the bike tonight. Not bad considering I was down with fever just two nights ago.
Also, this thread is a potent generator of dafuqs.

Nice bit of smoke just a few miles east of me. Per Cal Fire's website Its called the Tesla fire, it started 2 hours ago and has burned two hundred acres of grassland in the middle of the Altamont Pass Wind Power farms
Lack of understanding of countersteering is probably a large portion of why half of motorcycle accidents are single vehicle, ran off road type deals. (That plus being drunk.)
The awesome thing is that the human brain is largely wired to do so. When running or walking you essentially counter-steer to turn. Most easily described by planting of the outside foot.
Of course some folks wiring just doesn't work very well.
No ! A properly seasoned salad. I am beginning to wonder if you know the difference between well seasoned and a salt lick.A salty salad?
I personally find that some balsamic vinegar and EVOO is plenty for a salad. YMMV.
Ok, but in a practical application the amount of counter steering is relatively imperceptible,yes ?
So then wouldn't it make more sense to tell her to lean ? Unless of course you count shifting your hips or dropping a leg as counter steering. To me, counter steering is something that I would pretty much only do on a fast wide dirt road where I would purposely turn the bar in the opposite direction while slightly leaning in the direction of the turn.
Korean Apple Vinegar instead of Balsamic. Much better.
I go pretty easy on the salad dressing. One thing I can't stand is overly lubricated vegetables.
So I went out for a trail ride and since it was drizzling just a wee bit I had the whole place to myself. Which was cool.
But for what ever reason, maybe I'm wearing some kind of bio tracking device, another Yellow Jacket stung me on the stomach. Really getting tired of these little fuckers.

I suppose I should look for that at teh Korean grocery in NY?
I concur. I generally just put a dash of each on it. Just to give the weeds a little flavor.
Usually most small greens are bit bitter. I once had the fortunate experience of sampling some organic, free range, local stash that had a great subtle garlic and pepper flavor. Another time I got to try a Thai Cherry tomato that had a few of the five components of Thai cuisine. A very unexpected taste experience. This was back when I live in Asheville. One of the few things I miss about that place. Here it's like there is a city ordinance against good food.
