Some people can do this. Personally I've never found it particularly onerous to put a foot down.

Also, I think it could help with low speed handling problems.
You don't need a gyro to do that, only practice.

Maybe it could be used to keep a bike from "drifting" to the side as you look to the side or over you shoulder.
You don't need a gyro to do that, only practice - and it is the rider doing it, not the bike. The bike only does what you 'tell' it to do.

A well trained inner ear isn't any heavier than a poorly trained one.
