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.

Aren't you talking about 'drifting'.. as you might see on a dirt
racetrack?


No.

I guess you all will have to just go try it. It's due to the gryoscopic
stability of the bike.
Now .... did you know that helicopters were impossible to fly until
gyroscopic progression was recognized and accounted for in the control of
the rotating airfoils?

Somehow boating will tie into this somewhere.....
