Also I noted thunder's comment about the gyroscopic effect of the
wheels. Terry Colon, in the reference JimH provided, commented on that:

"Counter-steering tilts your motorcycle into a turn faster than you can
lean it shifting your own weight by using the motorcycle's momentum to
force itself into the desired tilting angle."

and, "Some folks will tell you it's the gyroscopic effect of rotating
the front wheel tilting your bike in counter-steering. Some folks would
be wrong."
John, read for content. I didn't say anything about the gyroscopic
effect tilting your bike in counter-steering. It doesn't. It does
straighten your wheel after the lean is accomplished. If it didn't, your
wheel would continue to the right, and you would have a nice case of road
rash.

Oh, OK. Sorry I misread what you said.

You should have been around when all the name-calling was going on about
whether or not countersteering even existed!

It was so obvious that even JimH would finally figure it out JimH. It
was nice to see him do his infamous "Opps ..... Never mind" routines.
