Anyone that has not practiced this or thinking they don't need to (like I did) is really putting themselves in danger as well as other riders. I could have easily caused a 2 car accident when I was blown off the road by a strong gust of wind. My 2 cents, practice, practice, practice till you feel comfortable with yourself and your bike.

thumbs up to this, I recommend getting the 'Twist of the Wrist" DVD as well, it really helps. But I maintain that the usefulness of technique videos/suggestions/etc. is VASTLY diminished until you've done it yourself at least once. I watched a BOATLOAD of videos on this, got some hints out of it, rode for the first time, and now rewatching them is a whole new experience.
