Here's one more link on the motorcycle/bicycle steering subject, and I'll
let it now drop.
For the non-believers, I've quoted a small section of the article below:
"The concept of turning the front wheel one way to go the opposite way
certainly is counterintuitive. Those of us who started riding before there
was rider training probably had to grasp the concept by ourselves, and
perhaps we did it subconsciously. And some people never quite realize that
you steer left to go right and vice versa. In fact, I have heard some
longtime riders insist that that's not the case, that motorcycles steer the
way the front wheel is initially turned. I have also heard bicyclists deny
that a bicycle steers this way. The issue is also confused by the fact that
you can steer a motorcycle by leaning, as anyone who has ridden any distance
with their hands off the bars (a practice that can lead to disaster if you
hit something in the road or have a flat tire, I need to point out) can
testify. Some motorcyclists will tell you that shifting your body weight is
the primary way to steer a motorcycle."
