The speed with which your bike turns is determined by several factors:
Steering head castor angle
Fork offset
Trail
Weight of front wheel / tyre
Length and weight of bike
Centre of gravity

A typical setup for a modern sports bike would be 24 degree head angle, 25 to 30 mm fork offset, 96 mm trail, 1400 mm wheelbase and around 175 kilos weight.

The figure below shows the relationship between the steering components. A quick study of this and it becomes pretty clear that altering any one of the steering settings will affect all the others. So, if the fork offset is reduced, the fork axis will move back a little, so increasing the trail. But what affect will this have? What is trail anyway?

Both front tires fly off of the Red Bull F1 car.. check it out.

“Big bass (for me anyway).. this was last sunday, a little cold but we wanted to get out and do some fishing anyway. measured 5.5lbs with a little cheapo scale.” My buddy Justin gets to catch giant bass in his secret pond, while I sunburn in the desert. The good news is, I am going fishing tonight so maybe I will get some bass of my own. In the meantime, check out his bass fishing photo.
