Left vs righthand corners?

[steve_t]

Being more confident turning one way is totally normal Practice the weaker side as much as possible

[bogan]

I think we need a picture of your curves, just to be sure

I'm pretty even on the road, but on dirt I prefer lefties, though this has more to do with the brake side than my dexterity I think.

[scumdog]

More comfortable with left-handed cornering, dunno why...

[onearmedbandit]

I'm ambidextrous, but now only have one arm to use, and I don't have a preference for either left or right turns, I love them both equally.

[rossirep]

im left handed, kick with my left, my right is pretty much useless. but i have more luck getting my right knee down than my left, but going left is more comfy for me on my bike so im quessing my answer aint helped you any

It's all got something to do with road camber...so I've been told.

...if rights ever become too much for the psyche to handle, all is not lost...there's always speedway solos or flat track racing to be done...

[Oakie]

Damn you! Now I'm going to evaluate all my cornering tomorrow to see if one is stronger. I'm not aware of one side being stronger than the other though.
Cornering one way better than t'other can also be attributable to something being a little askew in the bike.

Political leanings maybe ... ?????

I'm right handed but do a number of things left handed due to being left eye dominant.

I also feel more comfortable in left handers, so years ago myself and a mate did some rule of thumb testing and found we were both getting over just as hard into right handers but still felt less comfortable doing so.

It affects other things as well,I do a lot of sea Kayaking and prefer to roll to the right rather than the left when I'm rolling on purpose.

I also tend to set myself up so that if I take a dive by mistake I'm more likely to go over on the right side instead of the left, even though in practice it really makes no difference,,,,your still gonn'a get wet.

I think it's all to do with balance and dominant eye/hand co'ordination.

it's the the road camber i have been told..........lefties work better coz the corner is banked sorta giving extra grip

...i reckon you have got it in one, unless the physics brigade turn up...i found as a youth that my right hand bias was a problem...later on as a racer type, i found that rights are as important as lefts, and positions lost to being biased were just not on...now i can fall off either right or left hand corners with exactly the same amount of swearing...

[Madness]

I prefer it to the right. Why wouldn't you? Instead of gutters, kerbs, gravel and trees quite often there's this whole other lane on the right...

[Woodman]

I'm a righty, especially offroad, gravel roads etc. Just seems more natural.

Tried doing a donut to the left a wee while ago and it was nigh on impossible, couldn't do it. Right, no probs.

[Conquiztador]

Right handed and prefer left corners. But I suspect that comes from years of solo speedway riding...
