So lets see... "turn" is a component of lean angle, which is controlled by 
counter-steer/bar pressure, peg loads, body position....

How about using load sensors on the bars (i.e. to measure counter-steer 
pressures) which in turn roll the bike, and have a position sensor on the bike 
which feeds the game turn commands....  Then you need to sense fore/aft loads 
to adjust body position in the game, oh and "pull" on the bars for 
wheelies..did I mention I like wheelies? ;-)
