2. Evidence supporting the new steering theory:

Here are eight pieces of evidence gleaned over the last 30 years and supporting this theory:

2.1 Testing the Torso-Arms-Handlebar mechanism yourself

2.2 Minimum stable speed calculations WITH and WITHOUT hands on the handlebar

2.3 Slow motion images when going into a turn at slow speed

2.4 Prediction of the lean angles in a steady state curve

2.5 Increased steering swiftness and sensitivity with speed

2.6 Isolating factors affecting steering

2.7 Independent test carried on by the Federation Motocycliste du Quebec (FMQ) in August 2001

2.8 Crossing hands on the handlebar
