Almost hate to mention this but the picture in your link is a perfect

direction
of the turn keep front fork and wheel aligned with rear wheel. You

almost sense it.

I'll be damned if I can figure out how you guys think you can possibly
discern a subtle pressure applied to the bars from a static
photograph...?


Experience. :)


Very true. I can sit here in my chair and mentally imagine taking a
left turn at speed. As the bike tilts, my left hand moves forward and
right hand moves back. Only a couple of degrees, but it's a natural
movement based on years of riding a motorcycle.

I agree, that's exactly how it's done. I can also imagine but not
actually see the applied pressure in a picture and don't think it
convinces any doubters.

Takes good eyes too. Look at the wrinkles his jacket. The right elbow is bending as the left arm is
extending. Luddite has great eyes.
