It has nothing to do with air pressure on the side of the bike, it has to do with the wheel not being straight in relation to the front wheel and frame and therefor physically trying to steer the bike to that side....have you ever been behind a vehicle that looked like it was going down the road crooked?
And it will result in higher air pressure on one side than the other. As I said earlier though, that's not the only thing going on. It's just one of the easiest to explain and visualize.
No sir. Experiment with it a little yourself if you're curious. Naturally, the effect is more pronounced the faster you go.

You think saying something that is completely irrelevant is easier than just saying things don't line up properly?
Sure have!

It's hard to say what "lining up properly" is anyway, since Harley does some strange things, like not centering the front wheel between the forks on some models.
