Has anyone else ever noticed this ?

Maybe this is just me, maybe I'm nuts. But I have noticed that I like left hand curves better that right hand curves. I don't have a clue why but I just fell more confident going through a left curve. I'm right handed, and I keep my wallet in my right rear pocket. Wonder if that could have anything to do with it? Just wondering if anyone else ever noticed this?:57:
 
Probably the weight of the wallet with the contents pulls you over more on a right turn. Buy some more chrome and try it again :D
 
Im a lefty and i feel better going though left turns also .. most guys i ride with say the same thing.. but i only notice it when going slow at speed doest matter to me
 
In a left curve at least a hard one the thottle hand is up and moving away as you steer and roll down on throttle.
In a right one throttle is on low side presure is toward you as you roll down on the trottle.
May have something to do with it just a thought
Hmmm I am opposite I use counter steering so in a left hand turn I press down on the throttle hand and the bike just drops..I think I prefer left hand turns because I am right handed and I tend to drop the bike down faster and lower with better control with the right hand. I think I am explaining this right?? :small3d023:
 
Actually, it is caused by the rotation of the earth and depends on which hemisphere you are in.....sorta like the water in the toilet bowl!! :small3d031:
 
Its only tru in the US.... because you have more ROOM when making a left hand turn, then when making a right hand turn.

Your confidence buids, and you end up using less of the rooom avaialable making left.... and you get better at them!

More or less correct, your dominant side subconsciously does this manouver with out the rider realizing it...:newsmile012:
