Oh boy...
Once you're going more than 5 mph on your motorcycle, you aren't steering the handlebars in the direction you turn. Quite the opposite actually... Look up counter steering, and be prepared for your mind to be blown on the next ride.
If you really want to get the most out of your bike, get a copy of Keith Code's "Twist of the Wrist". Make sure it's Vol I. Vol II wasn't as good.
