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.........


Sorry, BTW, I should have known you were trolling him.



No loss! Any answer would have been devoid of reality anyway - can't
imagine Mx doing more than 20mph on a moped, on the back seat, eyes shut,
tears forming, never mind............
