    i find most people find left easier

    i reckon it's because when you sling her over to the left you don't really have to worry about oncoming traffic, particuarly on blind corners....

    then again i've always favoured the left on my dirtbike too, well before road riding....

    Hrm, i'm a leftie and prefer the feeling when tipped to the right, might factor into it. find it easier hangin off to that side too. but then again, i am 'special'

    also just clicked, lefts would make for anti-clockwise wheelies. we may have stumbled upon it?

    Your throttle hand is less affected on left turns which is a reason why a lot of people prefer them

    I prefer lefts cause on right handers my rear brake pedal, exhaust piepe, and foot pegs (and feet) all scrape along the road.. But that may just be a cruiser thing..

    Those guys are useless. No talent at all. Definitely not. Definitely not some of the most amazing stuff I have seen in a while. Noobs.
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.
