> If one human is teaching another human, you can leave the "countersteering" detail out and it won't matter. The 200 years of people learning how to ride bicycles is evidence of that.

This is actually a well-known fact about motorcycle, and it's taught in driving schools. It's just that their is no bicycle driving school and people just figure it by themselves. I'm pretty sure it takes more time though.

I don't think regular driving schools teach you to countersteer when you turn.

Perhaps they mean riding schools as any MSF endorsed riders course will teach you to counter-steer to initiate a turn [0] at higher speeds. It is especially important on a motorcycle due to the forces/speeds involved.

My dad owns a motorcycle training school and teaches this.

The motorcycle class I took in the US did in fact teach this.

India. We're not known for the thoroughness of our driving schools :)
