Sorry about the confusion. Putting the paper idea into words wasn't the best
idea. Thanks for helping me out George!
I made a quick video to show what I meant:

I think a simple model is quite helpfull when you consider to build a Python.
Also, understanding what is going on makes it easier to make little adjustments
to your bike later on.
Try the paper thing and check it yourself. It's not only about steering but
also about leaning. With the piece of paper in your hands, you can just check
what happens when you -for example- steer and then lean into a corner. Does the
CoG go up because you lean? Even more important might be: if you are leaning
into a corner and need to steer more... Does the CoG go up or down? If it goes
up, you will need to apply more force to steer. If it goes down, you need less
force. And except for the down or up direction of the CoG, there's also the
left and right of course... ;-p
