Target fixation, rain and failure to negotiate a curve :(

[greatmaul]

Ok, another question.

I've been reading a lot about target fixation, because I really don't like the feeling that I can't control myself or the motorcycle, and one person, in all the dozens of posts I've read, even in other forums, said one thing that no one else said.

He said that when we target fixate, we panic and forget to countersteer.

And that kind of made sense to me? All the while when I was watching the bike drift towards that line, I was trying desperately to turn the bike, but it wouldn't turn. I think that I was trying to steer the wheel left, away from the line, and it was making me go right, towards the line, so I kept straightening the wheel. Turn, straight, turn, straight, etc, and this was what I felt the whole time, like one arm was fighting the other.

Has anyone heard of this? He said you basically have to shout in your head, "Push Left!" for example if you want to go left and if your body is trying to turn the wheel towards the left to escape danger.
