and you shift your weight to tip the bike, thats how bikes corner

You have to shift your weight if you want to turn. You can only turn the front wheel at very low speed.

To corner you have to overcome the gyroscopic effect of the motorcycle. Being higher gives you more leverage to do this. All you have to do is lean. your body weight does the work.

Shifting your weight has everything to do with turning.

You know what easymo? About the only statement of yours that I agree with is:

BTW. The lack of knowledge, in this thread, of something as basic as cornering, is what is funny.

The sad part is that you and some others didn't understand it. I hope you do now.

Man, not that I doubted you for a moment, Saburo, but to think I was about to go out and try to turn my bike without steering it, lol.

I can take disagreements on religion, politics, etc. We all have an outlook on things and see things in a different light.
I do draw the line however when some post 'tips' that can get a novice rider killed or injured.
Obviously they are:
1) novice riders themselves (or have actually never ridden a motorcycle)....
            and/or
2) ignorant of the physics to get a bike to turn/handle.....
            and if they still believe what they've been posting,
3) plain stupid.

What was really rich was when one ignorant (stupid?) person posts a link to another ignorant person's ideas.
