Push left, go left. Push right, go right. Just the opposite of a
tricycle.


Huh?


He's correct. *Same on a motorcycle. * Push the left handle forward, the
bike will make a left turn. *Push the right handle forward, bike turns to
the right.


Try it sometime.

Hmmm. * Actually push the left side of the handle bar away from you while
pulling the right side towards you and you go right.


No. * On a moving motorcycle, *(and I assume a bicycle, although I haven't
tried it) pushing the *left handle away from you will cause the motorcycle
to turn towards the left ... same side that you are pushing. *Push on the
right ... bike will turn towards the right.

I can see several people are having trouble with this. *Don't feel bad. *So
did I until I tried it.

I think it has to do with the shifting of weight to the side you are
"pushing" on.
