Wouldn't it try to push one wheel dow and the other up (remaining a moment)?
Since the pavement, and the weight resist this rotation, wouldn't it slow down the lean at least some?
I realize that the opinion of most of the people here is that gyro effects are negligible, which I can buy, but I'm sure I read somewhere that they play a part. I'd like to know if the experiment with counter-rotating from wheels was tried with both wheels, and whether the difference could be noticed by a rider. It'd be a great experiment. I'll have to look for the book George cited.
