if your riding your bike down the hiway and you push forward on the left handle bar what way will u turn L /R?

Answer 1

"Question: If you are on a motorcycle going down the highway, and you press on the inside of the left handle grip, why do the wheels turn to the right, but you turn to the left?
-----------------
1991: This only happens, by the way, above a certain speed. If you are going slow enough, the bike will turn in the direction you would expect. The reason the motorcycle behaves as you describe at speed is due to a phenomena
called precession. For a thorough explanation of precession, I recommend you look it up - it is a fairly complex subject. You can observe precession with a gyroscope. I will give you a quick explanation, though. When you try to
turn a rotating object, you produce a force at 90 degrees to the direction of rotation. When you push on the left handlebar and turn the front wheel of the bike to the right, you produce a force which makes the whole motorcycle lean to the left. It is the leaning to the left that turns the bike."

Answer 2

Left. And if you give it a solid tap you'll actually jump a couple of feet or so. Good to know if you need to make an evasive manuver to avoid something in your path. The same principle applies to the footpegs. A good stomp on the left peg will jump the bike to the left. Good for when you may enter a curve too fast. Take a MSF safety course and learn these and more neat little tricks that just may save your life.

Answer 3

This didn't make sense to me at first either. Don't think of it as literally turning the handle bars. At speed you don't turn them - you lean. So the "push" force applied is actually down toward the road, not out in front of you.

So, in answer to your question, if you push (down) left, you're leaning left, turning left...

Otherwise, if you push forward on a bar it would be at low speed and you would push fwd on left side to go right. Get it?

Answer 4

If you press forward on the left handle bar, the bike will lean left and turn left - it's called countersteering.

Answer 5

Riding at slow speeds, the bike will turn in the direction you turn the handle bars.
Riding at faster speeds, if you push on the L handle bar, the bike will lean to the left, causing the bike to turn left.
It's called counter steering.

Answer 6

Are YOU actually riding the motorcycle?? Because if YOU are riding the motorcycle you shouldn't be! You don't even know what will happen when you press on the left side of the handlebars?? Stay off of the road if you don't know what you are doing.

Answer 7

I can ride my bike with no hands only when i'm going down a hill it's so fun :D

Answer 8

Into oncoming traffic!



After reading the other 19 answers, maybe I should wear a helmet after all!

Answer 9

If you push on the left bar, and pull on the right bar, you turn left. If you push the right bar, and pull the left bar towards you, you turn right.

Answer 10

All the idiots who said right are either full time cagers or posers.
