Voting Question: Why does a motorcycle become more stable as its velocity increases?

A motorcycle going 60MPH will not tend to 'roll' as much as a motorcycle going 0MPH. In other words, the bike will tend not to fall over as 'fast', or probably more accurately, a bike will not tend to fall over without more resistance if the center of gravity of the bike+rider system moves beyond a restoring force. Why? I've thought of a few things which may or may not be wrong. One is simple air resistance. The faster you go, the more drag and resistance to any movement exists. I like to think of it, in a horribly tortured analogy, as similar to falling over in air vs. falling over in water. Though you might float, and the analogy is screwed to start with amongst other possible reasons, I hope you get the reasoning; you'll fall over with more resistance in water then in air. Another, which I am struggling to fully comprehend whether it applies or not, is the spinning of the wheels. The faster you go, the faster the wheels of your motorcycle spin. There is... for lack of a better word, 'energy' in there. Now what that rotational momentum and energy does for stability, I can't really pin down for sure, but I think it may be a possibility. I seem to recall... precession? That classic physics demonstration where the instructor spins a bicycle wheel, then flips the axis 90 degrees until the wheel spins along an axis perpendicular to the ground, 'suspended' by 'magic'. Oooh. A simple experiment for a physics caveman to confirm this would be simple; get a motorcycle. Suspend it. See how it reacts to forces when its wheels are not moving, and when its wheels are spinning at an appreciable rate. In any case, even if the spinning of the wheels DOES provide some sort of resistance to a rotating force (torque), I cannot exactly pin down why, and definitely not describe it mathematically, not without alot of googling which I cannot do at the moment (im serious bro, rofl lul). OK. So far two possible resistive forces to a torque (I hope that is technically what I am describing): Air resistance, and a force from the spinning of the wheels. Perhaps a more obvious reason is simple momentum, though I am unsure if it is applicable. Assuming a bike moving perfectly vertically, there would be no rotational momentum, considering an axis along the length of the bike. I feel I am missing something obvious. In any case, if I pretend I am driving a wheel-less motorcycle in a vacuum, for some odd reason I still feel as if it will be more difficult to rotate the space motorcycle traveling at 60MPH than at 0MPH. If this natural inclination is correct, then I am missing something in accounting for all forces, etc. If it isn't correct, I have simply been living on earth for too long :) more
