Thanks ktk_ace, but... I don't see where that article explains what I remember experiencing - that my front wheel is pointed slight away from the corner/lean.
The text has (emphasis added):
"Once lean is achieved
As the desired angle is approached, the front wheel must usually be steered into the turn to maintain that angle or the bike will continue to lean with gravity, increasing in rate, until the side contacts the ground. This process often requires little or no physical effort, because the geometry of the steering system of most bikes is designed in such a way that the front wheel has a strong tendency to steer in the direction of a lean.
The actual torque the rider must apply to the handlebars to maintain a steady-state turn is a complex function of bike geometry, mass distribution, rider position, tire properties, turn radius, and forward speed. At low speeds, the steering torque necessary from the rider is usually negative, that is opposite the direction of the turn, even when the steering angle is in the direction of the turn. At higher speeds, the direction of the necessary input torque often becomes positive, that is in the same direction as the turn.[14]"
Yet for me in the Sears Point carousel, I recall NOT having the front wheel/bars rotating toward the turn. Is my memory faulty, or am I correct - in which case, WHY? What forces have the front wheel pointing away from the turn DURING THE TURN be correct?
