It's a piece of piss, you do it anyway when you are riding but probably not conscientiously.
Balance a brush upright on your hand and watch which way the brush moves when you move your hand,,,
Saw a demo once, very interesting.
When you are riding and approaching a bend, say a left hander and push down gently on the left bar, the bike will naturally move left like magic!
When you're in a bend and going a wee bit too fast and you think the bike won't make the corner, that's when counter steering comes into it big time! As well as looking where you want to go as the bike will go where you're looking, like the fast approaching hedge or the back of that transit in front!
Centre of gravity comes into it as well but that's for later (hanging off the bike)
