However, I recommend getting on the freeway as soon as you are not affraid of the cagers. The best way to get confident with the concept of counter steering is at high speed.

Good luck. Get some gear. Have fun.
I have to disagree with you here. The best way to learn counter steering is on tight low speed turns. Your lean angle is much greater on a tight turn and the low speed will not freak you out. My favorite for a little thrill is a decreasing off camber turn. It makes you think you flying.
