Re telling the parents .... i didn't either.
This is what I intend to do. I expect I won't be speaking to her for at least 2 months afterwards.

Wobble Meet 2 sounds good. Although lots less wobbling now.

I've also worked out what you lot are on about when you say push down on the side of the handlebar in the direction you're going. Makes long sweeping bends a piece of piss.

It's called "counter sterering" San.

Very useful

Interesting.

Is that anything like middle distance sterering?

Attempted explanation here. Although I'm not sure it's how I'd explain it.

Tips the bike very nicely around and into corners.

I don't actively do it all the time, although perhaps do it without thinking about it.

I did read an article in a bike mag once about someone being taught to countersteer extremely agressively on a track training school, and the correspondent was amazed at how effective it was when used in that way.
