So, you are saying that through a left turn, you are putting pressure on
the left bar turning it away from the radius of the turn, or right in
relation to the centerline of the bike?


Yup.



Check out this picture.. it clearly looks to me like the guy is turning
right, and his front forks are clearly turned right too.. more pressure
on the left bar...

So you are saying the bars here are actually turned left, I just can't
see it??




Here. I zoomed in and blow the image up a little.

He's making a right turn.
If you look very closely, he has the *right* handle bar pushed slightly
more forward than the left. Look at his arm angles. Counter-steering.
