Motorcycles do NOT lean because of the gyroscopic effect of the wheels.
They lean DESPITE the gyroscopic effect of the wheels.
Banda is 100% correct on this matter, and Kevin Cameron - all due respect - is wrong. Them's the facts.
Tell me...
How does a downhill skier change direction, when he has no gyro effect whatsoever?
How can a 200 pound man riding a 12 pound bicycle with carbon fiber wheels change direction so quickly, yet remain stable at 45 mph?
