Yeah, no. As far as I can tell, the wheel turns in the direction of the turn and lean to maintain the turn. To the extent I'm using counter-pressure on the handlebars, I'm doing it to prevent the wheel turn from being too extreme and/or forcing it out of the turn. This is not countersteering, it's course correction. I'm either regulating the extent of the lean, or I am actually actively ending it, not doing anything to extend it.
