Hi, 

Martin is perfectly right in his explanations. Physics is sometimes very
different from what you believe. 

Micha, don't even discuss that before you've tried the following:

Drive your AT on a straight road at about 60 km/h (*). Pull on your left
hand. You guess the bike will turn left !? 

Try that and tell us ...

;-)
Pierre

(*) The speed must be enough to allow gyroscopic effects, thus > 10 km/h.
