In Europe, does driving on the wrong side of the road eliminate the need for counter steering? Logic would dictate it would just be normal steering since everything is reversed.

No, but it does affect driving below the equator, you know, because gravity causes toilets to swirl in the opposite direction.

Wait, you mean when I'm rubbin' a nubbin below the equator I have to do that in the opposite direction as well? **** me, I'm taking Australia off the vacation short list. Too complicated.

I think that's called counter-counter-steering...

Depends on how recent the subject had antibiotics. And if they consumed mass quantities of carbs. These two things have been known to cause “auto-brewery syndrome.”
Yes, it’s legit.

Now, as far as motorcycle motion on stomach contents. Generally, riding a motorcycle makes riders hungry & thirsty. This is where “Live to Ride, Ride to Eat” comes from. Lol.
And also obesity, diabetes & stroke/heart attack.

Nope, that would be “counter-counter steering!” LOL
