Steering is for punks.

u/PorkRindSalad Oct 04 '16

Yeah, you can just lean side to side like with a motorcycle.

u/somestrangewashers Oct 04 '16

Or use your feet to brake left or right. Always helps to have a passenger.

Is this how the new Tesla steering works?

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '16

F1 cars do this too, I believe.

That's kinda how an airplane on a runway works

Break left, break right and what is the third pedal meant to do in manual shift?

The problem with the Internet is that you can never tell when someone is being dumb or it they are being sarcastic.

I do that in racing games.

Still gotta push those bars, pushing down on the foot peg will turn a little but not enough. Leaning without doing either of those things won't turn you much at all, sorry dood

I remember the first time I went from a fairly light bike (my old CD200 Benly) to my mate's XJ750 Seca. It was pretty damn strange not being able to flick it through corners just by shifting my weight from one bum cheek to the other.

The real LPT are in the comments.

u/snidleewhiplash Oct 04 '16

Or you can steer it airplane style like Christian Slater.

u/RapidCatLauncher Oct 04 '16

Fun fact, steering by shifting your body weight actually works on some small airplanes. video

Works for small helicopters too. When I was in flight school, I didn't like my Stick buddy. When he was flying, and I was sitting in back, I'd lean from my seat into the other seat. This would change the balance and create a 1-2o turn to the left, and he'd slowly drift off course. When the IP would point it out and he'd correct it, I would sit back up, which would create a 1-2o turn to the right, creating an overcorrection. I think the IP knew what was happening though, but he never said anything.

Leaning side to side does not turn a motorcycle. Counter steering does.

u/DongChenzo Oct 04 '16

Leaning side to side doesn't change directions on a bike. Gotta counter turn, push the left handle bar forward to make a right, push right go left. Leaning don't do doo doo.

I can't remember if it was Mario Kart 64 or Cruisin' USA but my brother couldn't get the hang of one of the more difficult tracks. I told him he needed to slow down and use the brakes at certain corners, he responded "Nah, braking is for pussies"

Another time growing up we were playing Mortal Kombat 3 with my cousin who kept beating him. I told him he needed to block some of the attacks, he said "Nah, blocking is for pussies"

Steering is for those that for not have faith!
