P.S. -- And no it doesn't come naturally, at least not at first. You have to think to do it, but then it should become second nature.

All of us have been doing it all our lives on ever 2 wheel bicycle we have ever had.
If you do not believe go jump on any bicycle, take it for a spin and turn right! How did you do it? Did you turn the front wheel to the right or did you turn it to the left and the bike whent right

RE: counter steering
so its just momentary, cool. ive tried to see it on a bicycle, but it looks like im turnning the wheel to the right to turn right.... maybe its too subtle to see.... anyways thanks guys ^_^ you all have been more than helpful. after the course i decided to drop the 500R and go for the 650R. ill take it easy at first and work my wayup till im more experienced to move to another bike. i just dont want to get bored of the 500R before paying it off, and ive heard alot of people say they have gotten bored of it and wished they could move on. pluss i went to go check out the ninja series at a local bike shop with my friend who has gotten me into biking.... i got to sit on a few of the bikes and found that the 650R just feels more comfortable than the 500R. i dont know, but as soon as i get my bike ill post some pics up of it thanks again guys.

These guys are going a little over the split second in countersteering, but it makes it more obvious and easier to see.
Note body positions, weighting the peg, the ride movement and where the bars/front tire is located in relation to the rear. A street ride does not require these awesome maneuvers, but the principle is the same.
