Hello Wayne - 

CA>> Motorcycles and other 'cycles' ride on the sidewalls
CA>> frequently. Only SUVs lean into the turns. ;-) 

WC> I find it odd many people, including many bikers who should
WC> know better, don't know you don't _have_ to lean but can
WC> instead push forward on the left handlebar turning the
WC> wheel to the right causing a _left_ turn while pushing the
WC> right handlebar and the wheel to the left forward forces a
WC> _right_ turn. This is handy when you need abrupt correction
WC> in a turn or to counter an uncounterbalanced driveshaft
WC> bike if accellerating or decelerating in a turn in order to
WC> hold your line of travel. In my casual polling more bikers
WC> than not refused to believe this and I held them in
WC> contempt for their lack of ability. 

A friend who attended a Harley driving school mentioned this to
me not long ago. I suspect this works well on heavier bikes but
I can't see it working on the little rice-burners very well.
