What I was told is this:snuffcityrider said:So.....how about cornering in/on gravel roads? Is standing good or better to sit and be able to dab or counter steer? All of the above comments helped. At least I think I'm on the right path in regards to standing while I'm blasting down gravel roads etc.
1. On a street bike you're taught to lean yourself further than the bike when cornering
2. With dirt, it's the opposite. Lean the bike more than you.
I found this to be very true. If I keep my body relatively stable, cornering on dirt is really a function of moving the bike underneath me.
