True, but both invlove moving the wheel the opposite way that most would assume.

As far as high speed car cornering, you can have a perfect line, but still have slip...so countersteering is crucial for them.

As far as me on my bike, I'm pretty sure I countersteer. I'm more of one of those guys that stnads semi upright while allowing my bike to lean more...so I do get some outward motion on the handlebars.
