Countersteer? Wouldn't the bike flip over to the right? If you are leaning to the left but turn your wheel to the right wouldn't you just flip over in a fast corner?
I've heard and read this a bunch of times, but am still not buying the science behind this.
Anyone have step by step breakdown with some physics behind it?
Thanks
