i.e.: if you need to make a sharp right turn, place most of your body mass on the right side of the bike and turn the handlebars while keeping the bike relatively upright rather than leaning the entire system.
Basically on a motorcycle if your going more than 20 mph you don't turn the handlebars the direction you want to go. I know it seems counter intuitive but it actually works. If you want to make a right hand turn, you lean over the right side of the bike, and push the bars left. This basically drives the bike out from underneath you and banks you into a right hand turn. Instead of trying to swing your mass over the top of the motorcycle, your drive the motorcycle out from underneath you to initiate the correct turn. I don't know how this would help on a bicycle though, because you still lean over on a motorycle while countersteering, countersteering just helps you get into the turn quicker.
