Since I see a circle, and not a half-one, the same idea can apply while applying forces moving forward?
It seems that the more you accelerate going out from a bend, the more lean angle decrease naturally...

I am sure there's an equation about this in phisics, I am interested in how things work, but I am not fond with phisics laws...

It's just something I have experienced on two wheels: while braking the inertial mass of the bike (and biker's) makes the whole thing to reduce lean angle. If I brake more progressively I can keep leaning, but the sensation of being pulled upwards is still there. Is it related on how rigid the frame is?

Stick with administrating, moderating and writing software, Luke; as an instructor you don’t make the cut. In my opinion.

Like too many teachers I have come across, you seem to know a bit, but it gets lost in the communication.

I think what you are trying to say is this:

1 - brake before a corner
2 - back off the brakes through the corner
3 - use a bit of throttle to balance the bike

If you brake too hard while leaning into a corner, you’ll land up on your arse.
This is good if you are trying explaining to a sheep :O (so for about 35% of motoristic people).
Going a little further, honestly I think that a vector is a simple enough way to graphically represent forces playing in that circumstances.

The circle just indicates (with arrows!) that the bike must keep the balance, clearly showing the limits. You are not going to doing maths on this, but a iconic nice looking picture will make you keep that in mind better than some text.
