Counter steering works at any speed. People get confused because at low speeds, the instigation of the turn is almost instantaneous, but you cannot instigate a turn without pushing in the direction you want to go first. To go left, push left. This destabilises the bike and *then* you turn the handlebars in the direction you want to go. This is merely more noticeable as you go faster as the transition into a turn is smoother.
If you want to argue with me, do it by recording a video of what happens when you push left or right and drop the link in the comments below.

In this instalment of my least successful playlist ever, In The Kitchen With Nick, I take you on a journey of gastronomical magic to make an Aussie BBQ Classic. Because is an Aussie BBQ ever complete without a huge bowl of homemade potato salad?

The problem with going on such long Motorised Bike Adventures is that sometimes things can break down, a long way from home, too.
I had left the trail I was on in search of another when the clutch became unbearable bad. It was not disengaging properly and had reached the point where it was not enough just to kill the engine - I had to hold the kill switch in to stop the spark or the engine would fire and rev higher and higher usually dependent on how fast I was rolling down hill.
So I pulled into a bus stop to perform a field repair on the clutch which was just good enough to get me home.
What I did was not necessarily the proper way to solve the problem but it is what worked for me. My GoPro batter died shortly after setting off for home, but not before I had a rear brake failure!
All's well that ends well, as I made it home without further issue.
Did you stay for the entire ride?
Thanks for joining me on this adventure!
Now if you've been keeping up to date with my Shorts videos you'll know that I've already sorted out the clutch (mostly) so the next thing for me to do is to try and repair my brand new brake levers!

The only time the little Honda CB125F hits this kind of speed is with a tail wind and preferably something breaking up the wind in front of you. On a normal day, the Honda will rarely break 95km/h.

I know many of you have been waiting for me to get off my a$$ and back onto the bikes after feeling sorry for myself after the crash.
Today I went back under the house for the first time in ages, mainly to charge the battery on the GIANT Talon-E for the first time in months.
I borrowed a wheel from the Mk4 bike in an attempt to get motoring again, even if it means not running as a hybrid. Unfortunately my legs and back gave up too soon from trying to work in the cramped space, before I was able to get rolling again. Of all things to give me trouble it was the bike chain that fell off.
So no joy today, but next time I get under the house, all I should need to do is fix the chain before we're good to go!
