if you search the web on this motorcycle steering thing you will find plenty of sites that talk about it - they call it countersteering.

Some of them dont understand the physics behind it - but some do:

BTW, after thinking about this, if you did lean your weight to the right the uni-wheel would preceed to the right, and turn right - but it would be very awkward to do, esp at high speeds.
