Been riding for more than 20 years. You do not understand the concepts presented in your screenshot, nor the vid you linked to. In the vid the rider enters the corner fast, he could still make the turn, but he panics when he sees the fire truck. He fixates on the the oncoming truck instead of focusing on making the turn in his lane. Watch how the rider turns the bars left and stand the bike upward riding straight into the truck. This has nothing to do with initiating the turn, angular momentum, or how the front wheel responds to the force on the spinning front wheel when you lean the bike to start a turn. This is the key problem - people who respond are desperate to be right, and being right mean repeating what you heard, saw or read without understanding the concepts. If you take time and can actually think about from the physics/engineering perspective ( I mean understanding the forces, vectors, sequence) you will see you can lean left to start a right turn, but you can just lean right to start a right turn. There is no magic. Use the right hand rule to see the direction of the force of angular momentum created by the front wheel as the bike is balanced and moving. If you lean left there is a perpendicular force on the front axle pointing backward (with no rider the wheel will turn itself due to these forces - draw the forces on paper to see) that turns the wheel left (the steering stem only allows the wheel to turn not move forward or back). The rider controls his speed, weight shift (if any) and also applies inputs to the bars to turn the wheel more or less to crate the balance. Counter steering is shown in the pic.
