Just fine, thanks. The angles in the front fork makes the wheel point straight when the bike is upright and to one side when the bike is leaned over, so at speed all you have to do is to lean the bike a little to the side and it'll start turning. When going real slow this doesn't really work, so then you have to turn the handlebar instead to get the wheel pointing where you want. If you're really slick you can do a bit of counter steering to get the bike to lean over faster, but I've never been in enough of a hurry to feel the need to use that kind of tricks.
