If you ride a bicycle with wet tires on dry concrete, your tracks will prove that you&#x27;re constantly steering small amounts back and forth to remain balanced. So a counter-steer is kind of inevitable: if you&#x27;re turning left now, you were probably turning right a moment ago. Even so, that&#x27;s somehow different than counter-steering a motorcycle.<p>I haven&#x27;t ridden motorcycles nearly as much as bicycles, but my sense is that motorcycle tires&#x2F;wheels are so much more massive that at normal highway speeds they really do have the gyroscopic effects that everyone mistakenly believes are present in bicycle tires&#x2F;wheels. When these effects cannot be counteracted by increased steering force, steering requires precession&#x2F;counter-steer. So there is sort of a progression from low-mass systems that must be steered to stay upright to high-mass systems that must be tilted to steer. It&#x27;s not clear whether these are really different phenomena, or just two values that have an inverse relation.
