Harrasing towbars since 2007
Well....where to start. I'm the fella that dropped my ZX9R on the infamous 'disco corner' (i think its known as???) about 6 weeks ago! Needless to say I was pissed! I came back to one ride once i had fixed my wheels ...the first one in the dark actually, and I was feeling fairly average about the whole 'leaning to the right' thing.
Since then, my mate (who will be coming along this week) has bought a 05 ZX10R and we have been out a few times. I believe I'm getting better :-). I have taken a while to gain my confidence back in my tires since the front tire having gone hard, dumped me into a fence (I now have a new set of diablos fitted). This has exasperated a theory of mine even more. Is it just me or do most right handers find it a little odd turning right as opposed to left? It just doesn't feel as natural to me. Anyway...I still love riding my beautiful machine and I look forward to another fine Thursday night ride this week. I have attached a photo of during and after the repair. See you all on Thursday.
PS thanks to all those who stopped to help that night I had my off...it was appreciated.

Most people do favour turning a certain direction, and it has normally been left, both my left and right handers for some reason, could be bike weight (Muffler on the left) or the actual camber (Slope on road) is usually better turning left (Sloping down to left)
So it does require more counter sterring to turn right to over come the camber of road.
But congrads on getting the bike back together and bring a mate along to share the fun. Everyones crashes at somestage, its unfortunatly the odds out there. (Either theirs or someone elses)

For from his crash, he shall rise again.
And now his Bikes all back together again, YAY

It is the one that I warned people of in this post.
The original Disco
The whole "the can is making it harder to turn" thing is bollox, unless it weighs like 20-30kg it would not make any diference which side it is.
Fine motor skills are learned - thats why when your born you cant pick small things up etc. Its simply down to you being more tense in your body through right handers....
I have a similar 'condition' and relaxing really helps boost confidence on right handers for me.

yeh, right handers feel less comfortable for me to.
i think this has somethign to do with being goofy or natural [skateboarding,snowboarding .. etc] these are just my opinion/thought.
when turning left, your right leg is in control [wieghting outside peg..etc] and if you hanging off bike, its your right leg hooked on the seat.
turn right, its the other way round. and your gumby left leg is in control and makes it all feel un-orthadoxed.
