[QUOTE="thewrenchbender, post: 1321087, member: 65551"] I'm pretty much with banjoboy. I would rather not cogitate much on why (or how) a bike turns. Riding, it pretty much has the same effect cogitating too much on how wing-shooting works has on my clays score-and it ain't a positive effect. I do know from previous riding experience that when a young teenager decides to commit suicide by darting out in front of you from right-to-left, quickly shoving forward as hard as you can on the LH handlebar of your motorcycle immediately induces an instant hard lean to the left, and an immediate left turn-allowing you hit him on about a 45 degree angle launching him back to the right rather than running him under the wheels (like I did with his bicycle) or cutting him in half. I always figured it was the whole 90 degrees spinward precession deal, all I know for sure is it worked. Only a broken thumb on the kid's part. And bad dreams on my part occasionally even 25+ years later... [/QUOTE]
