Motorcycles change directions with lean angles at speeds faster than nine or ten miles per hour. To properly do this, you want to use your posture or body English to help maintain the bike's stability and traction while cornering. When leaning a motorcycle, you want to keep your torso and body weight, at minimum, with the center line of the motorcycle. Do not fight the lean of the bike. When leaning and changing directions at higher speeds, using your body weight and posturing into the turn will help keep the motorcycle as upright as possible, thereby maintaining as much traction as possible. In regards to motorcycle safety, traction is the name of the game. Everything you can do to maintain traction will keep you safer. Lean over the bike, further into the turn, like many competition-level road racers, will let you keep the motorcycle upright and stable while cornering through turns. As always, remember to stay relaxed and smooth, turn your head and look as far into the turn as possible, and don't be afraid to lean into curves. Something that can produce as much anxiety for a new rider can someday become the most rewarding experience of riding a motorcycle, like banking an airplane into a curve like a fighter pilot. Eventually, it'll become second nature.

I think it should be made clear though, that a person "leaning" a motorcycle, isn't actually what turns it. To turn a motorcycle you're almost "pushing" a motorcycle to turn in a certain direction, but very slightly. If you are needing to turn left, apply pressure/push forward on the left handgrip. A lot of people don't understand this because they think you're turning your wheel to the right to turn left. So it kind of throws them off a bit. But trust me, once you get on a bike and give it a try, you'll understand immediately and it'll be natural to you right away.

I agree with everything Mr. Parks said. Though it seems to most riders that it their leaning that turns the MC that is not actually true -- but it is true that the lean steers the bike the difference is in what initiates the lean. . The motorcyclist presses outward on the handlebar on the side in the direction they want to turn. This transmits some torque to the handlebars, through the front forks to the axis of rotation of the front wheel. Since the spinning front wheel is basically a gyroscope in applying torque to the rotational axis you are inducing gyroscopic precession causing the wheel to lean to the side in which you are turning. This leaning wheel, being attached to the frame of the MC causes the entire MC to also lean in that direction. The rider keeps his/her body aligned with the center line of the MC and so they are leaned also. The difference is that the rider does not lean the bike but induces torque to the front hub to cause the bike to lean and they stay aligned with that lean (not vice versa). You can prove this is correct. By doing a turn (in a parking lot) and keeping your body vertical with the horizon (don't keep your body in alignment with the bike). No matter what your body position is the bike will continue to lean and make the curve/turn. This gyroscopic precession is some pretty powerful physics indeed!

where is his eye ? LOL

Most of this video is correct but you are wrong to say that you should always keep you body at least in line with the lean of the bike:
at slow speeds (10mph or less) leaning against the bike (in other words allowing your bike to lean more than you do) allows for much better turning through low speed traffic. -

Fifth! \o/ Being a newbie on riding, I greatly enjoy these tips. Could you guys please add the subtitles in English? That would help me A LOT. Best regards, from Brazil. =D
