Part of how I understand it is that by turning the bars to the right (pushing on the left bar) you are effectively trying to move the contact patch of the tire and road out from under the center of gravity, which effectivly leans the bike to the left, the leaning actually doing the turning... That make any sense?
The effect is more exagerated on a bicycle, the center of G being much higher. Go kinda slow on a bicycle sometime, and tirn the bars to one side, you'll lean the other way in a hurry!
