I think, if I remember what my instructor said to me all those years ago. Have a look at the flick of the wrist books they got some stuff about counter steering in them.

United Kingdom	i find that when your going fast in a corner you can steer the bike with one hand really,not that you'd like to but say your in a right hander you can steer it with your right hand etc,takes a bit of confidence but it does work, takes time really but when you start getting faster it becomes easier
