[QUOTE="Richouse, post: 1365448, member: 9392"] Gyroscopic procession... when a force is put on a rotating mass (gyro or in this case the front wheel) the result of the force is 90* in the direction of rotation. In other words... if you put a force on the handlebars (gently push the left bar forward) the force is put at the back of the wheel. The result is a force at the top of the wheel 90* later trying to push it over. Then the bike has to lean and turn to keep it from falling over...hence a turn. Any other pilots here? This should sound familiar... [/QUOTE]
