its not just me that thinks that then?
Have you ever noticed video reviews of motorcycles online always show the test rider hugging the centre line? Which side of the road you drive/ride on is immaterial.
It scares me when I watch riders here take a right hand bend with their head hanging over the centre line. Too often I have seen this and watched in amazement as they come too close for comfort with oncoming traffic and then repeat the same mistake 2kms down the road.
Too much reliance on what others do to keep us from dying, road engineers included as per the OP.
