I'm not going to get into an argument on this one, Tom.  I believe that you
can't body steer a MC, no matter what you or others say.  And when I say
"steer", I mean change its direction substantially.

Without seeing how you corner, it is difficult, or impossible to decide
whether you are "body steering" as you like to call it, or using the handle
bars.  I believe you have to use the bars if you going to substantially
change your direction, and all other things being equal, I don't believe
you'll be able to manage it with body steering, or whatever you want to call
it.
