An airplane leans in to the turns.



Well hell yes... When you want to turn an airplane, don't you just
lean over and it mysteriously goes there? Conversely, when you want
to turn your motorcycle at speed, don't you give the handlebars a
good tweek in the desired direction?


Actually, when you want to go quickly in one direction or other on a
bike, you tweak the handlebars in the opposite direction to that of
the turn.




Now you spoiled Mx's x-spurt answer....... durn.........


Trick is you have to go faster than about 20 mph for that.

Think he has?
