New Not if you counter by actually *steering* the other way.
New Ever ridden a bike?
It's called "counter steering". If you want to turn left, you steer to the right, which will lean the bike over to the left. I don't care where the wheels are pointing, a bike will go in the direction it's leaning.

If you doubt this, picture the contact points of the tires and the location of the center of mass. If the center of mass is to the left of the contact points, that's where the bike will go.
