A question for you Utopia:
You and your bike are vertical whilst travelling forwards on a flat level road in a straight line at a constant speed.
Resolving forces and moments about the centre of the contact patch, what force or moment do you think causes the bike to begin to rotate? Gravity alone doesn’t do it because the weight is vertical through the contact patch so doesn’t create a moment.
