Lurching is generally a bad thing and usually dangerous on a motorcycle. I think it is a matter of imbalance and a slow recovery or overreaction. Im trying to improve my balance in the gym -- dancing on the bosu ball, jumping around, etc., and I think my reactions will improve with riding. The video shows five short clips centered around a particular location in the Nickerson circuit in Pinehurst. I first approach the location from the north and lurch left into the fauna. Next I circle around again and lurch at the same spot but not so badly. Sill I have to stop before entering the fauna. I try going around and coming in from the south, but still lurch -- now to the right! I overreact and lurch left face down into the snow. After that I give up for the day. After a few days I come back to the circuit and pass through the location in both directions without lurching! I hope that means Im improving!
