    To the right as I tend to pull the right hand grip towards me as I get off. Bike feels more stable and less likely to fall if I put it to right.

    Not for me... not at all hard... in fact, being humble comes so naturally to me I dont even notice Im doing it. It comes with being modest, muscular and tall. Just another positive trait in my excessive list of positive traits.

    Sheesh.... Im so incredibly amazing - and the good thing is - I dont even realise it.

    Thats way cool.

    Mine locks to the left.
    I turn it to the left almost always
    The DR sits pretty high on the stand so sometimes I have to be a bit careful if I am on a slope
    I am left handed

    Seems like the answer is
    Left because most steering locks lock that way.
    Then it just becomes a habit.
    Also makes sense given most side stands are on the left hand side of the bike.. (aren't they?)

    Hahaha my old keeway was super special and the wheel would only lock when turned fully to the right. Made for a very awkward parking stance. Reckon they must have installed in upside down or something. Fat load of good that was!

    Hey Katie, we need bikepickingup lessons.
    I dropped Eugenes bike on the weekend and he had to help me pick it up.All I could see was the petrol dripping onto my right leg that was stuck under the thing.Even a hefty kick from my left foot only just shifted it.Geez and it was only the xr250...you'd think I could get it up eh?

    Otherwise, whichever way the handlbars will lock does just fine for me. about how it looks standing in line? No-one ever parks next to my bikes anyway
