how about something like this?

Looks like something Moto Guzzi made during the war.
"Goose" probably tries something like that too, but this is French,
and the French at that time were known to be great tinkerers, with
results to match.
Yeah, I should have said it looks like something Guzzi *could* have
made during the war. Something
like this:

Here's an idea for Scott: (warning - contains boating content)

No steering unless that rowboat has a bow thruster.
Just like a motor cycle, you just lean into the turn to make it go
that way.
No, leaning doesn't make it turn. Leaning enables the motorcycle to be
kept more vertical when
turning. Pushing on the handlebar makes you turn. Push left, go left.
Push right, go right.
Countersteering.
Heh. I just mentioned to Scott about that. Those who don't ride will
think it's weird. They think it should turn like a car.
Yes, counter steering but again, it's not the fastest way around the
corner
It's the only way around the corner, at speed, on a motorcycle.
I am beating myself up and I can't think of any place on the track where
counter steering is faster...

Here is Jess setting up for a corner... notice she is turning left, and
her bars are slightly left.. If she let her back tire slide out more
(blowing the corner) the bike would have to stand back up and the back
tire come back in line to get out of the corner... don't know if that
makes any sense. I have a video I could find later of two riders me and
Jess study. One came though the corner right (her mentor) and the guy
behind counter steered through and lost two seconds in the corner...
Letting the back tire 'slide out more' is not a method of riding for anyone but dirt bikers. When
she initiated the turn to the left, she did it by pushing on the left bar or pulling on the right
bar. Once the bike started leaning (and turning) she can slide all she wants.
I think what she is doing in the picture is coming out of a turn. So she's pushing on the right bar
to straighten the bike up (or pulling on the left bar). Looking at the tracks in the dirt also shows
that she's through the turn.
