Do ya'll feel more comfortable leaning to the left, or thr right, or does it not matter to you?

I find myself turning in on my right alot more comfortable than the left for some reason.

Depends on which way the road is curving.

to the left for me. i think it has something to do with which eye is more dominant and make sit easier to look, and that translates over to the bike. also the throttle is easier for me to mess with when my arm is extended instead of bunched up.

Well, i'm ambidextrous, so being left or right handed doesn't really matter to me i guess? It's just really had me thinking all day. I took this curve pretty low and tight today, and as soon as i got upright, i thought about it. Weird.

More comfortable turning left. No chicken strips on the left side of the tire, about 1/8" on the right. Think it's cause I'm always used to the exhaust being on the right side and subconsciously I think I have less clearance (even though I know I don't)

I had hard time to the right but it got a lot better. I would have had it down with one more track day.

I take lefts better, i think it has something to do with which foot is your dominant. Kind of like skate boarding, or snowboarding, goofy foot or regular. My left leg is dominant and i feel more comfortable leaning that way.

Also as spindoctor said, its easier to control the trottle when leaned to the left.

You mean we aren't talking about leaning in the ride while bumping my Bubba Sparxx?

Oh yeah got some lowering links on it now, so it's easier to turn in.

Doesn't matter to me, Im great at both!

Nah, all kidding aside....I can lean both but have a higher comfort level on the left side. Good question, I thought I was the only one the felt like that. :D

I always felt more comfortable going left, but the pioneer clover leafs are all rights, so I learned to drag knee going right.

I just saw that video I posted in the vid forum the other night of that guy sliding his 600RR around in a parking lot, that's the next thing I'm picking up, I'm going to learn how to drift my shit with my knee on the ground hauling balls.

Watch for me on the high side! :eek:
