Well, you probably have not mastered counter-steering so do not think that. We counter-steer to create the lean angle. There is a reason we have to talk about this stuff theoretically. I am not going to be entering a curve at 70 mph's anytime soon. And as the video tells us, the lean angle for 70mph entry is larger than for a 45mph entry. Do you know what is that lean angle? Do you think your going to get it right the first time you try it? No.

And how do you determine your initial angle of lean(how much you counter-steer), surely it is different for each speed you are going?
Do you brake before you enter a turn?
Given your speed, will the bike naturally fall (when you counter-steer) to the stable angle of lean for that speed, regardless of your speed?

Yep.
And yep.
I'm seriously wondering if the OP even owns a bike. Or has ever operated one for that matter. Going from asking total newb questions about countersteering to suddenly becoming a seeming expert on the subject just seems a little fishy..... Or maybe it's troll I smell......
'Course I'm not saying anything that hasn't already been thought of here. Thinking out loud.....

You can either confirm it or deny it. There really is no in between on this.
I am not trying to trick you. I am assuming you are being straight with me and you are some kind of racer or stunt driver or something I fully intend to pick your brain, if you allow it. But first I have to be convinced that you have really done the things you said you have done.
