I agree for a bike, steering geometry affects the available leverage to control the bike.

Is all this in any way addressing the original question?

Yes, I couldn't have said it any better (as you can witness by the length of my post that this is a reply to).

I just hate it when people come up with the example of a long stik versus short stick... I couldn't let it go!

And NO, it obviously doesn't bring us any closer to the original question! ROTFL
