No argument here. Anyone who's tried a solid countersteer on a motorcycle
moving at anything greater than parking lot speeds, and certainly at
freeway speeds, will tell you this is the way to make it turn. But this
whole thing of the B.S. bike is.....well, silly.
I think a better way to demonstrate countersteering is to place an open
palm on the right handgrip (allows a certain amount of throttle
application) and press. With the only contact from your palm at the back
of the right grip, you can make the bike turn right. ONLY to the right.
