Hey Dick and John..
 

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...

I will answer my own question, the bike above is steering, the bike
below is counter-steering

And that's that...

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.

Bull****. I said no such thing.

The driver is countersteering in that he is keeping pressure on the left handle to keep the bike in
the curve. The moment he releases the pressure, the bike will straighten. If he immediately releases
pressure on the left and applies it to the right - he will rapidly straighten and begin a right
turn. He will remain in the right turn until he then releases the push on the right bar. Once the
push on both bars is equal, or none, he will straighten up and remain so.

Quit worrying about the front tire. It should be in alignment with the rear, or damn close to it.
The reason it stays slanted to the left is because the driver is pushing (countersteering) on the
left bar.

Now, like Luddite, I'm finished. Please don't put words in my mouth.

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.

Well then I got it confused. Either way, all of the pics I just posted
clearly show bikes turning in the direction the front tire is turned...

He is not steering, he is falling over. Simple.
