Banda is absolutely correct about the bike changing direction because of the tire's shapes...this is why wider tires make steering heavier. But precession (with a lil help from gravity) is what leans it over.
and the wheel's axle CAN BE MOVED...just turn the handlebars
but in reality, when countersteering we arent really moving the bars much, if at all, but putting force thru them, which is the force that becomes the lean once precession is done with it.
