[QUOTE="Max Factor, post: 83285, member: 20244"] Colarado, I went the other way, been riding dirt bikes since I was a kid and got into road bikes and racing a few years ago. From my experience, they are much more similar than you think. As many of the others here have said, on the dirt, counter steering is an essential techique to go fast on the dirt. The big difference is you need you weight on the high side and outside of a dirt bike. If you have a look at many photo's of pro's riding you'll see the classic outside elbow up, inner leg out and upright body, tip the bike under you. I once read that one of the pro's positions the edge of the seat in his crack as he tips in (sorry for the graphic description :eek: ). If your still riding the street bike you'll notice how much the dirt riding helps. I now race a Superbike and being able to 'back it in' to corner like a dirt bike is an awesome feeling. Super Motard, here I come! :) [/QUOTE]
