Almost hate to mention this but the picture in your link is a perfect
example of counter-steering. Very slight pressure against the
direction
of the turn keep front fork and wheel aligned with rear wheel. You
can
almost sense it.

I'll be damned if I can figure out how you guys think you can possibly
discern a subtle pressure applied to the bars from a static
photograph...?


Experience. :)


Very true. I can sit here in my chair and mentally imagine taking a
left turn at speed. As the bike tilts, my left hand moves forward and
right hand moves back. Only a couple of degrees, but it's a natural
movement based on years of riding a motorcycle.


I agree, that's exactly how it's done. I can also imagine but not
actually see the applied pressure in a picture and don't think it
convinces any doubters.


Probably not, but the fork is certainly not turned to the left.
