Right hand turns under 40km HELP!

[The Stranger:Me]

Start the righty from the lefter side of the road whilst not to confuse traffic, Do this every time!

Now I'm confused.
What confusion are you creating by starting your right bend from the left?
How does this confusion impact you?

The problem would be confused body language on the road before I turn right to those cagers hehe

I will run with using the left tyre to turn into the lane and see how it feels I was going to go out tonight but I ended up mowing the lawn! Yeah it was getting quite high :/

Why the heck do I have trouble turning right handers! Its like I am too scared to just get on with it or something. My left handers are natural, my right handers seam forced.

Is this kinda natural ? Is there some phycological theroy behind this madness ?

You're not the only one. Both times I've come off the bike has been on a right hand corner........there is a theory behind it, I just can't remember what it is. Just keep practicing

Is it left hand corners that are harder to left handed people? or right corners for everyone? I come off on a righty i freaked out "going too fast" i wouldve been able to get an extra 20kmh if it were a lefty and comfortably take it...

Not sure if its been mentioned cause i couldnt be bothered reading haha but to make you bike stable on slow u turns etc try dragging your back brake you will be amazed how well it works

Right handers tend to be more open (and longer) than lefts so one should in general expect an easier time on rights. That said, right hand corners are sometimes off camber, can't recall a left being off camber yet.

Hehe wow! Must be some theory behind it Cheers

I remember learning to ride a pole-ski, i could corner right ok but couldnt go left very well. I think it has something do with with wether you are left or right handed which i also believe you will balance better going one way or the other.

I have since overcome that and have no problems turning either way now, though sometimes those real small roundabouts do my head in.

As mentioned it will be easier if you drag your rear brake while giving it a bit of gas. The secret here is to keep the rear tyre loaded instead of coasting around. Same goes for tightening corners on the road, helped me out a few times already!
