And precisely why I had such a difficult time over the years
telling people, including long time motorcycle
riders, that turning the front wheel to the right leads to a left
turn all things being equal and turning it to the right leads to
a left turn.
Turning the front wheel of a motorcycle to the right,
pushing the left handlebar forward, causes
the tire to ride on the ground closer to the hub on the _left_ side
therefore turning faster and thus the left turn despite what
common sense would appear to dictate.
Most riders most of the time use the shifting of body weight 
to turn and some never notice the phenomenon however there 
are times it's quite useful to be aware of.
