Counter-steer, is that like turning into the direction of the skid in a car to get straightened out?

On a bike it is : Push right to turn right. Push left to turn left. This does not apply when "walking" a bike through a parking lot....sitting on the bike doing the duck waddle at 2 mph.

Nope. On a motorcycle, the bike has to lean to turn at any pace faster than roughly 10 mph. To get the bike to lean right, you actually turn the handlebars slightly to the left when initiating the turn.

Below 10 mph or so, you would turn the handlebars to the right and keep the bike upright.

Some riders do this instinctively, most need to be taught.
