Just a quick note on "counter-steer". Counter steering is the only way any bike steers (including pushbikes) over about 12mph. The only difference between instinctive turning and 'counter-steering' is the mental awareness that you are doing it.
Semantics really. Different riders have different levels of skill and confidence is all. Big, conscious efforts to counter steer are just part of learning the limitations of riding.
