I do much better on right turns. I still get spooked on left turns when a car or motorcycle appears to be coming at me around a blind left corner. I guess I flinch or let up a little when I'm leaning left, and it messes up my line.

I think I'm equal at both. Some days I suck on the left and other days it is the right so it evens out. The one time I drug my knee was on a right hander. Ironic part was that it was my hardest turn to get through smoothly. I worked and worked on entrance, etc, guess it paid off.

I pull on the left bar to go right and my throttle hand is relaxed so I have a better feel for it. When I'm pulling on the throttle side to go left I don't have the same kind of throttle control since I have tension on that bar. Hmm . . . maybe I'll start pulling to go right and pushing to go left, that way my left hand can do all the turning so my right has better control of the throttle, lol

I push the left bar for lefts and pull the left bar for rights.

Oh, you mean like exit ramps? Coincidence, I'm sure. :p

Exit ramps, traffic circles, right-hand turns on surface streets are generally tighter than lefts... take your pick :dthumb: Another flatlander who prefers rights here.

So after a great ride yesterday, I found out that I prefer right handers.

I prefer left. Not sure why I'm just more comfy with them but I'm still learning so time will tell if that changes.

makes me wonder how many of us are right or left handed?

I'm a converted from left hander to right, I actually can do everything with either hand.
