Answer me one question. Is this bike countersteering?

If you say it is, then I stipulated to an erroneous definition of
counter steering while John was apparently wasting my time today...

He said in a nutshell, when the front tire is turned away from the
direction of the turn, in relation to the radius...



Yup.

Look at his hand and arm positions.
He's following a curve to the *left*.

His *left* hand and arm are slightly more forward than his right hand
and arm, meaning the handlebars are turned ever so slightly to the right.

Counter-steering.



Wow... nope... he looks like that because he is up under the tank...
Look at the wide angle, **** looking at the hands, look at the front
tire and fender... clearly the front end is turned slightly left...


Turning left, front wheel turned left.
