No preference, the twistier the better.

I suppose we should all be better at rights, due to roundabouts.

Left seem to be easier to me !! Dunno why but they do! tho not much in it!

Same here, no idea why...

Left handers are definately smoother and the angle of lean steeper. But right handers is the knee down side cause i can hang off more.
But i dont really care cause any corner is great, the faster the better. Bring em on.

Just thinking don't we all do the lowest knee downs (even if it doesn't touch down) on roundabouts? So right handers ought to give confidence?

I always seem to feel much more comfortable and confident on Left Handers. But don't know why. I'm right handed if that makes a difference?!

Left-handers for me too.

Maybe it's because most roads are cambered towards the left-hand gutter for drainage, and the camber acts as something of a 'banked track'.

Left or right it dont matter to me but i used to preffer left handers :wink:

Don't ask me, I'm still going round (the) bend.

**dakk66** · 10 May 07, 11:15 PM

Pretty much the same on both, although if I had to choose prefer left handers

Right handers for me, but thats because of my fear of rikok's 30 tonners and nothing else - I used to do lots of skateboarding in my younger days and always prefered left hand kick turns to right handers. (i'm right handed and regular footed) And when i'm in bed with a succulent young lady with a taste for the bizzare, I like to have her to my left.
Hope this helps,
Mark.

I prefer left handers because at the apex of the corner on a right hander you're leaning over the white line into the path of oncoming traffic.
