After reading all this I'm leaning (pun intended) toward the gyroscope camp. Question, PSk: Why would I, at parking lot speeds, need to steer my bars into the corner to get the bike to lean and turn that direction while, as speeds begin to get above 10-15 mph or so, I now have to countersteer to get the same results? What has caused the forces against the headstock to completely reverse direction?
