| Feb 12, 2021 at 16:19 | comment | added | Andrew Steane | I found the following phrase rather odd, concerning the motorbike: "displacing the mass causes gravitational force to create a momentum toward the turn". The gravitational force is strictly vertical; the force producing horizonal momentum is the friction, not gravitation. Perhaps it could be reworded? | |

Added information on counter-steering - turning a bike or motorcycle using microscopic inputs on the steering, pushing the bars in the opposite direction to which the rider wants to turn in order to trigger a turn in the right direction and lean into the turn.
