darts fly straight. They fly straight because most of the mass is well in front of most of the drag.
Vetter talks about this, and focuses on making sure this happens on his bikes with the big fairings.
The front wheel on a bike is pretty interesting. The caster is actually determined by the angle of the steering head.
There is caster caused by mechanical trail, and by steering head trail. I'm curious what the difference between the two in bike behaviour is - I'd guess steering head trail leads to high speed stability, and low speed wobble, and mechanical trail leads to low speed stability, but those are guesses.
