When talking about a rider staying on the motorcycle, you only have centripetal acceleration on his lower body and his CG, which is going to be above the seat for us, is trying to go in a straight line. So the overturning moment of the rider about the axis of bike travel is the only one that applies to the rider staying on the bike. The moment transverse to the direction of travel has no relevance in this situation as you would not use a pivot point behind the CG to react a forward overturning moment, if that pivot point only allowed a pushing action (foot on peg).
brn664, what moment are you referring to?
Now, if you are talking about motoGP lean angles, then that may be different as the lean angle of the bike won't be as close to the resultant force for the combined rider+bike.
I know for certain that I can support all of my weight on my inside peg. I was at Rd Atl, last year and had my outside foot out (as I often do) in 10B to come in on the checkered lap (nesba) and I also threw my outside hand up in disgust as someone tried to pass me right before the pits. I did this while dragging a knee.
As many people that have cameras on their bike, surely someone can shoot a video as I have described so many times. That would settle this once and for all.
