Thanks gotnspikes. This whole debacle comes down to someone(mikerr1) who is scared to ride a motorcycle until he understands the physics of it. I bet everyone here knows someone who after being explained in a great way, has to ask hypotheticals and turn a simple practice into hell. One friend of mine never held a paint gun in his life... But he would tell my other friend who has painted 30 years he's doing it wrong... He saw it on discovery channel or some **** and is now an expert who never even held a spray gun. Its sad but people like that exist.

If any of you guys were right, what we see in the following video should not be happening...
Watch this video (right after it starts) for the riderless motorcycle. The bike does not stand up, it keeps its lean.

The only theory that was introduced in this thread that explains what we see in this video is the one from the technical article and the one described by bWoltz. The article said that a counter-steer creates a stable lean. That is what we see in this video, a stable lean.

MikerR1,
So... what parts of Texas you ride in? I am going to be in Southern AZ some time in the next few weeks. I could easily make it into West Texas if you were up for a meet up. I would love to get back to the Hill Country. I loved Kerrville and Fredericksburg; would love to get back there some time soon.
