Why does a motorcyclist lean inwards while negotiating a curve?

To accommodate the acceleration.
Acceleration has direction and magnitude. When turning, the direction is constantly changing. If the cyclist does not lean inwards, the force from the acceleration would through him/her "out of the loop." So by leaning inwards, the cyclists center of balance is in a smaller radius than the wheels (which are the only things touching the ground). Thus, the force from the turn balances out with the bikers lean and friction of the wheels with the ground.

How do you draw a curve with straight lines?
While a curve is one continuous motion, you can create the illusion of a curve by using straight lines. In order to do this, draw a continuous pattern of short straight lines, while changing the direction of each line slightly.
